RICHLAND, Wash.- Susanne Diaz is a second grade teacher at Marcus Whitman Elementary School. She was awarded November’s Classroom Makeover from Toyota of Tri-Cities because of the example she sets for students.
“Not only watching them gain confidence in their academic ability in the classroom, but also watching them be kind,” says Mrs. Diaz. “I think kindness is really important in today’s society.”
Mrs. Diaz says the money will go towards her student’s hands-on STEM buckets.
