After teaching at Altara Elementary School for 33 years, Kim Mackay has become an integral member of her education team. Mackay collaborates with her fellow teachers to analyze student data and identify areas of improvement for her sixth grade students. She then communicates effectively with parents to keep them involved in their child's education experience. She also brings humor to her classroom and develops relationships of trust with her students. "Mrs. Mackay is an amazing teacher," one parent wrote in Mackay’s nomination letter. "Her students know what is expected and required in her class and they perform at that level. Through volunteering, I have personally seen how she constantly provides positive feedback and encouragement to her students."
