During Whitney’s first year of teaching, she’s overcome a lot of difficult factors for any teacher, yet she takes it in stride. When one of her students passed from cancer, she helped her student study understand grief and how to honor the child. She has many special needs students she works so well with, and every one of her students love her. She has made a huge impact in the school in such a short amount of time, and is working hard to make changes to the kindergarten program for the better.
