Top Teacher: Tessa Strabala

This week's KDAT Top Teacher award goes to Tessa Strabala, who works at Tiffin Elementary School in Tiffin.

Tessa teaches Special Education kids at Tiffin and they're grateful for the extra effort she makes on behalf of all her students.

Tessa was nominated by Betheen Groepper who wrote this about Ms. Strabala:

She is the most compassionate, dedicated Special Education teacher I have ever worked for. She treats her students as her own children. She is always soft-spoken and calm in any situation. She constantly works to improve and find ways to educate her students. Her room is always warm and inviting.

We want to thank Tessa for her dedication to her students and award her a $25 gift card from Half Price Books and a delicious pie from Kathy's Pies.
