At Tecumseh Public Schools, weโre more than a district; weโre a community made up of incredible people who bring their talents, dedication, and care to everything they do. Weโre thrilled to kick off our new ๐ป๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ผ๐: ๐บ๐๐๐๐ ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ series to share the stories of the fantastic staff members who make TPS a special place.
First up, ๐๐๐ซ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐๐ง. Carrie isnโt just a 5th-grade teacher at Tecumseh Middle School. Sheโs also a Builders Club Advisor, National Junior Honor Society Advisor, concession stand worker, volunteer scheduler, van driver, trash picker-upper, hallway harasser (to get to class!), activity night planner, flyer maker, and overall ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก ๐๐๐ก ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐!

โI love building meaningful relationships with students, teaching both in and out of the classroom, and helping raise students who value and contribute to their community. As Ken Blanchard says, โThe best minute you will ever spend is the one you invest in others.โโ

โItโs not just about teaching lessons or managing a school day. Itโs about investing in each studentโs growth, well-being, and future. It takes a whole team, from teachers, secretaries, custodial staff, lunchroom workers, instructional assistants, bus drivers, and so many others, to create an environment where students can thrive.โ

โI love camping with friends and family, watching my kids do the things they love, and reading a good bookโespecially while soaking up the warm summer sun!โ
Carrie, thank you for your dedication, heart, and all the hats you wear to make TPS an excellent place for students and staff!
