Jennifer Atkins
Cardinal Lacroix Academy

Nomination by Ashley Grondin

Mrs. Atkins is the title one reading and math teacher specialist at Cardinal Lacroix. She is absolutely amazing with the students. I have seen her work wonders for my own second grade daughter, building her confidence in her reading and math skills. Mrs. Atkins makes sure their homework is grade appropriate so that they are confident in their abilities to do their work. She helps so many students from kindergarten through sixth grade every day. When she’s not helping students, she’s helping the teachers. You can often find her assisting in grade 2, working with the class as a whole on math and reading as they are in between teachers. Jen also finds amazing material, strategies, and books for all the teachers in the school to use. We are able to go to her with a question or concern and 99% of the time she has an answer or a resource for us right then, and if she doesn’t, she always gets back to us so quickly. Jen is truly a wonderful teacher.
