Teacher of the Month

I made the teacher visit today! Congratulations to Melissa Hansen of William Monroe Middle School, the Z95.1 Teacher of the Month for January! Melissa is actually our first teacher ever to win the honor twice! She won several years ago and gets nominated every year at least once! So glad to see Ms Hansen again and get to bring her some great gifts from World Strides, Better Living Building Supply & Custom Cabinetry, Keefe Center, Charlottesville Sanitary Supply and Rebecca’s Natural Food. PLUS, new this month, VA Credit Union surprised her w/a $150 grant for her classroom!

If all of that wasn’t great enough! Her class sang to me! Don’t they sound wonderful?
