Gate City Charter School for the Arts (2nd grade teacher)
Nominated by Ashleigh Martin
Mrs. Waterman has nothing but compassion, kindness and love for her students. She goes above and beyond for her students everyday. During this pandemic she has adapted and strives to work with the parents to provide the best education possible for her students, including making packets for the parents each week to pick up for this children. It’s also going to the school each day and being on a google meets video all day long so that the students (and the parents) can go on at any time and ask her questions or just talk to her. My son, whose on the Autism Spectrum, can have some rough days and she is always patient with him with her kind words and a soft spoken voice. She goes above and beyond each day and deserves all the recognition for it.
