Congrats to Jamileh Mikati at Pisgah Elementary School, our M.B. Haynes Teacher of the Month!

The Morning Mix with Melanie & Crystal teamed up with Chris Pennington from M.B. Haynes to surprise Mrs. Mikati with the news in her classroom.

As our newest Teacher of the Month, she was presented with prizes from our generous prize sponsors: MB Haynes and Caroline Albea Orthodontics!

Ms. Marino was nominated by Susan Levy who shared this when she nominated her to become Teacher of the Month:

I have volunteered in her classroom for 3 years now. She combines love for learning, kindness, attention to variety of children’s skillsets and a wealth of experience running/owning her own preschool in Florida to providing the most enriching first grade experience to children from all backgrounds.

 

Mrs. Mikati is surprised with the news that she’s being recognized as the M.B. Haynes Teacher of the Month. Pictured, left to right: Mrs. Mikati, Melanie from Mix 96.5’s Morning Mix and Chris Pennington from M.B. Haynes.
