Congratulations to Ms. Allyson Ross who received this year's University School Teacher of the Year (Most Innovative Teacher) Award.
Ms. Allyson Ross brings music and song to the faculty, staff, and students of University School. Her love of music and theater is demonstrated daily in her work with the students. She brings out the best in students.
The choir and theater students have been hard at work all year long on different performances.
She puts countless hours into the program (after school and on weekends) and her positive
attitude has spread to the students as evidenced by increased enrollments in the theater
program. What a joy it is to walk into the building in the early morning and hear
the sounds of the choir singing. It is an uplifting way to begin the day for faculty
and students. The growth of her students has been simply amazing.
She has also been instrumental in helping our school become more "green" in words and in actions. She took the initiative to write a grant that provided us with reusable tableware to use. Her work towards getting the drinking fountain that fills water bottles shows her commitment to recycling and the environment.
Congratulations, Ms. Ross!
