Martin County! Citrus Grove Elementary School teacher Ms. Tammy Reinhart has been nominated for TCPalm's Teacher of the Week, and she needs your vote! 🍊🐍
Here's what her nominator shared: "Both of my kids were extremely lucky to have had Mrs. Reinhart as their fifth-grade teacher. She is the teacher that can teach students at whatever level they are at and gently pushes them to excel so that they are prepared to be successful at middle school. She is smart, fun, energetic and her students love her. She also has the prettiest, most cozy room ever seen for a classroom. We have all stayed in contact with her since leaving CGE."
Congrats, Ms. Reinhart! 🗳️ Vote for her today and every day through Friday, Feb. 6: bit.ly/4klO09R
