Timothy Putnam
McKelvie Intermediate School in Bedford

Nomination by Stephanie Richard

Although school has just started, Tim has already gone above and beyond to help students both academically and socially. He made sure students are comfortable with everything they do. He also makes sure that he checks in with his students to make sure they are doing OK not just in school, but in life in general. He will take time out of his busy day to talk to his students one on one to see if they have any problems and he will give them advice on how to deal with what’s happening in a student life. Tim has helped out our family already with making my student feel comfortable talking about anything that has come up in school or at home. I recommend this teacher for WZID’s Teacher of the Month for taking the time to really get to know his kids and to help them in any way he can.
