Mr. Paul Nelson - Teacher of the Month

Submitted by david.thacker on Wed, 12/18/2013 - 10:31

I would like to nominate Paul Nelson for Teacher of the Month.  Paul is not one that would ever look to be recognized, but he works hard, especially with struggling students.  He is patient with the students, and willing to work with them whenever they ask for help.  He is truly a quiet, hard, worker in this school that is rarely recognized for his efforts.
