Recently, #HarrisMiddleSchool Agriculture Teacher Sarah Beth Stallings was featured in a blog post on the National Institute for Excellence in Teaching (NIET) Blog.
The blog, Celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week: Reflections from the Classroom, includes quotes from teachers from multiple locations across the country. The quote from Mrs. Stallings, along with a photo of Mrs. Stallings teaching at #HMS, is a little over halfway into the blog post.
Congratulations to our own Mrs. Stallings for this honor. Now others are learning how blessed we are to have you at HMS, helping us to #SoarAboveTheRest.
