A big shoutout to Mrs. Shamel, our amazing VPSD Teacher Proud Tuesday honoree! Mrs. Shamel, one of our incredible VPES 4th grade teachers, received many heartfelt nominations.
"I had the privilege of having Mrs. Shamel as a teacher twice at Valley Park Elementary, and she remains my favorite teacher to this day. Her passion for teaching made school an enjoyable experience, even at a young age—something that isn't always easy to achieve. She has a calm, adaptable approach to challenges; if something didn’t go as planned, she never panicked but instead found a way to overcome the issue.
Even now, as I work with the 4th grade through my Leadership class, I continue to see her cooperative and flexible nature firsthand. She is always open to adjustments, understanding that these projects have a meaningful impact on her students. Mrs. Shamel’s willingness to adapt and support others makes her an incredible educator and role model."
"Mrs. Shamel has such a passion and energy for her students and her career. She takes the time to care for each individual students' needs helping them to achieve their best. Having her as a partner in my child's education is amazing!"
"Mrs. Shamel is one of the many great teachers at Valley Park Elementary School. The reason I am nominating her is her dedication to each students success in her class. She has helped my son a lot this year with his reading. Mrs. Shamel is kind and supportive to her students and always finds ways to help enhance their learning. She is a gem of a teacher!"
Thank you, Mrs. Shamel, for being such a positive role model and making a difference in our students' lives every single day. Teacher Proud Tuesday is a statewide celebration where Missouri school districts spotlight educators who inspire and uplift our students. #TPT #VPPride
