Help us celebrate Dr. Jessica Tuma by voting for her as this week’s TCPalm Teacher of the Week!

Now serving as the District’s elementary science coach, Dr. Tuma was most recently a beloved and respected teacher at Citrus Grove Elementary School. 🍊

This is what her nominator shared: "Jessica Tuma has been devoted to teaching children her whole career. She is amazing with all types of children and works within their learning style to facilitate their growth and development. She spends hours outside of school planning and prepping and has given her life to the children she teaches. She is so very deserving of this recognition."
