Toombs County High School Special Education Teacher Bailey Moser was surprised with balloons and a gift on Thursday, March 13, as she was presented with the monthly Greater Vidalia Chamber Super Star Teacher award.
The Super Star Teacher award is an initiative the Chamber began last year to honor the extraordinary teachers who go above and beyond the call of duty, and ultimately, impact lives. The program is overseen by Chamber Director of Operations Amber O’Connor, who spoke on the opportunity.
“The Chamber is excited to be able to offer this program to our community! We couldn’t think of a more deserving group of professionals in our workplace to be recognized for their dedication to students and their community,” she remarked. “A Super Star Teacher demonstrates excellence in leadership in their classroom along with motivation for their students. They show a high level of commitment to not only their students but their community.”
The Chamber collects nominations for the award every month, then nominations are reviewed by monthly sponsors to select a winner, who is presented with the award and prizes during the school day.
During the presentation, presenters read out the nominations that earned Moser the award. “Mrs. Moser goes over and beyond for her students. One of her students was struggling with language barriers, new school, new home environment and much more. She spent extra time with him. In doing so, she found out that he had an after school and weekend job. He had to walk to this job from home. She located a bike for him and planned to purchase the bike. When the owner found out, he donated the bike. At Christmas, she planned a Whoville party for all her students. She decorated with Grinch and other Whoville characters. She provided hot chocolate, breakfast foods, cakes, fruit and punch. She loves her students,” one nomination said.
Another nomination read, “Bailey goes above and beyond for her students. She always makes them feel valued and appreciated. She’s sees the potential in everyone and thrives to make them see it for themselves.”
Nominations for the April Super Star Teacher award closed on March 28. The recipient of the award will be shared in coming weeks.
