Leslie Clark is a dedicated servant of education. She works tirelessly to create beautiful, functional learning displays for each unit that she teaches. At the end of each unit, she spends extra time displaying student artwork around the school. Leslie works many hours after school and on weekends to prepare her units of instruction and to organize supplies between two school buildings. She can often be found at school during Spring Break and Christmas break running the kiln, packing up materials at the end of a lesson, and cleaning in her classroom. She spends hours and hours making sure that each little detail of an art project is prepped in advance.
Leslie loves and cares about each of her students. She appreciates the sweetness of their work and always encourages them to make things if they have 'free time'. In her classroom, you will find a wall of artwork made by kids and given to Mrs. Clark as gifts. Each year, this wall is renewed with fresh handmade love and cherished all year long. Leslie is also a champion of new teachers in the district. She is always offering learning materials, project examples, and access to supplies to new teachers. She is an amazing mentor to other teachers. For all of these reasons, I would like say how much I appreciate Mrs. Leslie Clark as my mentor and friend. She is retiring at the end of this school year and I cannot even imagine being a teacher without her in my world. She is the absolute best!!
