Mrs. McClain isn’t just my wife, she’s the most incredible teacher I’ve known. She pours everything she has into teaching and brings learning to life for her students who mostly speak Spanish.
She decorates the room for different units, transforming it into space, jungle, pizza shop, and she goes to her students’ parties, games, and activities. She pays for field trips with her own money.
She donates her classroom books for students, she stays late and gets extra degrees to better meet needs. She is part of many committees. She could use the money for her new car and to buy a house.

Mrs. Wyatt is the teacher that our students go to when they need a shoulder to lean on, a hug, or someone to listen. She is our social media coordinator and spends a lot of time promoting us positively.
She recently partnered with me on our school’s pageant and the students raised $9525 for Cancer Services. She also oversees all student council events and is the department chair.
I literally do not know how our school would function without Mrs. Wyatt. A few weeks ago, she literally saved a child’s life by recognizing the suicide warnings and getting him help. So many things.
