Golden-Apple Award Winner Katie Tate is a veteran teacher. She served at Chukker Creek Elementary for 14 years. This school year, an opportunity came along for her to take on the role of Librarian at New Ellenton Middle STEAM Magnet School.
Mrs. Tate can tell when a child is developing a real love for reading.
"I think when they want to talk to you about it, when they’re invested in the book. They just want to keep reading more and more, then you know that you’ve got them. They’re going to keep reading, just because they want to tell you about what they’re reading.”
Way to go, Mrs. Tate, and congratulations on your Golden Apple Award!. A teacher turned librarian. Always an educator who continues to reap the rewards of her hard work.
