A special education teacher was recognized for his special ability to connect with students and staff. Nick Wilson received the Reeds Spring School District’s Teacher of the Year Award at the inaugural Excellence Awards Banquet, held on April 9 at Chateau on the Lake.
“What makes him special is his dedication to his job,” said paraprofessional Lorna Williams. “To the students, to the parents, to the staff. He’s always willing to go above and beyond and always does it with a great attitude.”
Wilson teaches special education at Reeds Spring Elementary School. His job requires him to work with students in multiple rooms and in multiple grade levels, so it’s a challenge to make sure the needs of all of his students are met.
“He does not see their disabilities, he sees their abilities,” said Speech-Language Pathology Coordinator Julie Wutke. “He works very hard to challenge the kids, but he’s also compassionate and loving and embraces each kid for who they are.”
Reeds Spring Elementary School Principal Laura Weber said Wilson is one of the most compassionate people she knows.
“Everything he says and does is genuine,” Weber said. “I can’t think of another person who is more deserving of this recognition.”
