Teresa West, WGES Teacher of the Year
February 7th, 2008

WGES is proud to announce that Music teacher Teresa West  is Teacher of the Year.

We are pleased to announce Mrs. Teresa West has been named "Teacher of the Year!" Mrs. West is recognized by the WGES staff for her endless efforts to educate the student body in the world of music. Her love of music is on display each day as she strives to expose the children to many aspects of music from singing to various musical instruments. She employs many different instructional strategies to keep the children learning about music from different periods of time and different cultures. Each year Mrs. West selects musical productions for each grade level which are enjoyed by the student body, parents, and most of all the children participating. In addition, she directs the school chorus which performs several times during the school year. WGES is proud to have such a talented and dedicated music teacher at our school. Mrs. West exemplifies the best the teaching profession has to offer and our school is so fortunate to count her as a member of the Walnut Grove Faculty.
