BHSC Teacher Feature Friday
🔎 Each week, a central office committee reviews nominations and selects one educator from a rotating school (BES, HES, BHS, HHS). Winners receive a $50 Amazon gift card courtesy of the Kolton Kaiser Foundation. The nominator’s identity is revealed to the honoree on announcement day to keep the fun and suspense.
This week, the BHSC Teacher Feature Friday spotlights Borden Elementary School.
Lora Anderson, BES, music teacher
Experience: 5 years at BES, 9 years overall
College/University: University of Louisville
Fun Facts: Mrs. Anderson has been skydiving! She says, "Yes, I willingly jumped out of a plane."
"I have been blessed to teach all levels and grades. Music has always been my outlet, and I'm happy I get to share my knowledge and enthusiasm for it with my students. My favorite part about teaching my subject is when they FINALLY get it. When it FINALLY starts to make sense, then their love for music grows exponentially!" writes Mrs. Anderson.
Mrs. Anderson was nominated by the family of JP Bennett, who wrote, "Mrs. Anderson spends so much of her own time and money to prepare creative music lessons with a limited budget and teaching the students that they can make and appreciate music with anything around them. She has helped my son to find that he loves music and he has even enjoyed joining the choir. He is not so musically inclined but she worked with him to find where he can not only participate but even excel!"
Congratulations, Mrs. Anderson! Thank you for choosing to make music with BHSC students!
Nominations will reopen next school year for BHSC Teacher Features for each of the four schools.
