🍎 Teacher of the Month: Mrs. Monica Lewis
We are thrilled to recognize Mrs. Monica Lewis, one of our outstanding fourth grade teachers, as our April Teacher of the Month!
Although Mrs. Lewis is new to NAUES this year, she brings with her an impressive 34 years of teaching experience—a gift that has already made a tremendous impact on our school community. From the moment she joined our team, she has embraced our students with warmth, enthusiasm, and a deep belief in their potential.
Mrs. Lewis creates a classroom environment where learning comes alive. Through hands-on experiments, engaging activities, and creative projects, she ensures that her students are not only mastering academic content but truly enjoying the process of learning. Her lessons spark curiosity and encourage students to think critically, explore, and grow.
What truly sets Mrs. Lewis apart is her commitment to developing the whole child. She goes beyond academics by teaching valuable life lessons, helping students build confidence, responsibility, and character. With a gentle and caring approach, she prepares her students for success both inside and outside the classroom.
Mrs. Lewis is also known for her positive spirit and willingness to help others. Whether she is mentoring colleagues, supporting students, or bringing laughter into the halls, she does it all with grace, kindness, and style. Her smile is contagious, and her presence makes our school a brighter place.
NAUES is incredibly fortunate to have Mrs. Lewis as part of our Dolphin family. We appreciate you, we celebrate you, and we are so thankful for the difference you make each day!
🌟 Staff Member of the Month: Mrs. Dianne Rawlins (4K Teacher Assistant)
We are equally excited to honor Mrs. Dianne Rawlins, our April Staff Member of the Month!
With an incredible 29 years of service at North Augusta Elementary School, Mrs. Rawlins is truly a cornerstone of our school community. As a dedicated 4K Teacher Assistant, she plays an essential role in shaping the earliest learning experiences of our youngest Dolphins.
Mrs. Rawlins is often one of the first smiling faces students see each morning, setting a positive tone for the entire day. Her warm and nurturing presence creates a safe and welcoming environment where children feel loved, supported, and ready to learn.
In the classroom, Mrs. Rawlins does it all. She helps guide instruction, supports daily routines, and ensures that everything runs smoothly and on schedule. Her organization, reliability, and attention to detail make her an invaluable part of the PreK team.
But her impact reaches far beyond the 4K classroom. Students across all grade levels know and adore Mrs. Rawlins. She has built lasting relationships over the years, becoming a trusted and familiar face for generations of NAUES students. Many would agree—Mrs. Rawlins is a true treasure!
Her dedication, kindness, and unwavering commitment to our school make her the heart and soul of our PreK program. We are so grateful for the love and care she pours into our students every single day.
