THOSE LIFE LESSONS. THAT IS THE LESSON, THE MESSAGE. AND THIS YEAR, MISS SULLIVAN DECIDED TO SPEND HER SUMMER TEACHING ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS PIANO. HER HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS SERVING AS COUNSELORS LEFT PINKIE ON DIXIE. I LOVE CREATING LEADERS, AND THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE DOING. THEY WERE TEACHING THE ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE E SCHOOLES TO PLAY TO SULLIVAN, USING MUSIC AS HER MEDIUM FOR SHAPING STUDENTS LIVES. AT GELL-MANN HIGH SCHOOL. AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL GYMNASIUM. IT'S A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN KIND OF CUT LOOSE. IT'S NOT LIKE THE OTHER CLASSES AT SCHOOL. I JUST WANT TO BE A FUN EXPERIENCE FOR THEM TO ENJOY MOVEMENT AND TRYING TO BE HEALTHY THROUGH, YOU KNOW, MOVING AND USING YOUR BODY. AND COACH ANDREW BAIRD IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER TEACHERS. HE'S LIKE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER TEACHERS. HE'S FUN AND SILLY, BUT HE IS SERIOUS. ONCE YOU GET A SOCCER BALL, YOU'RE GOING TO FIND YOUR OWN SQUARE ON THE FLOOR. HE EVEN SPENDS SOME OF HIS DAYS SITTING WITH THE STUDENTS AT LUNCH, AND I THINK THAT'S A GOOD BALANCE TO TO TO BE AS INTERESTED IN THEM AS YOU WANT THEM TO BE IN WHATEVER SUBJECT MATTER THAT YOU TEACH. BECAUSE TO COACH BAIRD, MAKING AN IMPACT CAN BE JUST THAT SIMPLE. THE EASIEST WAY TO SHOW SOMEBODY CARE IS GIVE THEM YOUR TIME. KEEP TRYING. ANDREW BAIRD, WATCHING HIS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS LEARN AND GROW AND SHOWING THEM HIS SUPPORT EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. AT RAVENEL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. LET'S SEE IF WE CAN HEAR THAT LAST SOUND. LEARNING THE VERY BASICS. AND. I LOVE TAKING THE KINDERGARTNERS FROM NOT EVEN REALLY KNOWING THEIR NAME, AND THEN READING BY THE END OF THE YEAR CAN TAKE A LOT OF FOCUS. BIG CURVE AROUND WHEN THEY HAVE GIVEN ME TEN, 15, 20 MINUTES OF ATTENTION. I'M LIKE, Y'ALL DESERVE IT. GET UP OR DANCING. OH, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. I LOVE TO DO SONGS, DANCES, HAND MOTIONS. BUT SHE SAYS IT TAKES BALANCE. THERE'S A GOOD BALANCE BETWEEN CALM AND EXCITEMENT, AND I THINK WHEN THEY ARE ABLE TO RIDE THAT LINE WITH ME, THEN WE'RE REALLY ABLE TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. BUILDING AN EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION ON A FAMILY FOUNDATION. JUST TRY TO GET IN THERE AND LET THEM KNOW THAT I LOVE THEM AND THAT I CARE ABOUT THEM. LET'S READ OUR THREE WORDS TOGETHER. POLLY ROSE O'NEILL TEACHING HER KINDERGARTNERS TO READ AND WRITE. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, TEACHING THEM TO HAVE FUN WHILE THEY'RE DOING IT. AT SARA COLLINS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THESE ARE ONLY FOUR OF THE HALF A DOZEN STUDENTS. IT DOEOESN'T SURPRISE ME AT ALL THAT HE GOT THAT MANY NOMINATIONS. WHO NOMINATED STEWART CAMPBELL FOR THE GOLDEN APPLE AWARD? EVEN THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, HE IS JUST LIKE SUCH HIGH ENERGY. SO MUCH FUN. I ACTUALLY THINK ULTIMATE FREEDOM WOULD BE BETTER. MR. CAMPBELL KNOWS HOW TO MAKE HIS STUDENTS LAUGH. I THINK YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE FUN WITH IT. I CAN DECIDE IF IT'S GOING TO BE A STORMY DAY, OR IF IT'S GOING TO BE A BRIGHT, SUNSHINY DAY. AND TO ME, KIDS JUST LEARN BETTER AND THE SUN SHINES. CONTROLLING HIS CLASSROOMS CLIMATE LIKE WE HAVE A POSITIVE CLIMATE IN THE CLASSROOM. THROUGH HIS WORDS AND ACTIONS, HE NEVER JUDGEGES ANYONE. HE JUST MAKES HIS CLASSROOM FEEL SO WELCOMING. FOR MR. CAMPBELL, IT'S JUST ANOTHER WAY TO SHOW THEM HE CARES. WE TEACH TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON THE KIDS, AND SO TO BE NOMINATED BY KIDS IS AWESOME. LIKE, THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE KIND OF AWARD YOU WANT TO WIN. STEWART CAMPBELL, TEACHING LITERATURE AND BRINGING THE SUNSHINE INSIDE AT EASLEY HIGH SCHOOL. STILL TO COME, THEY'RE LIKE, I CAN'T DO THIS. AND I BELIEVE ANY STUDENT CAN. INSPIRING TODAY'S STUDENTS THE WAY SHE CHANGED MY LIFE. I WANT TO DO THAT TO OTHER KIDS TO BE TOMORROW'S LEADERS.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? OH, HEY, I'M SO SHOCKED. NOW RECEIVING THE GOLDEN APPLE AWARD LEFT THIS FIFTH GRADE TEACHER ALMOST SPEECHLESS. I'M JUST SO BLOWN AWAY. HAPPY. AND IT REALLY IS.

I WANT TO DO THAT TO OTHER KIDS, TO KNOW THAT I'VE INSPIRED HER THE WAY THAT I'VE BEEN INSPIRED BY PREVIOUS TEACHERS. THE REASON WHY I WANTED TO BE A TEACHER. IT MEANS A LOT. SHE'S JUST A KIND AND LOVING TEACHER. SHE'S ALWAYS DOING STUFF FOR US. I POUR A LOT INTO MY CLASSROOM IN HOPES THAT THE KIDS KNOW THAT THE LOVE I HAVE FOR THEM. AMY STONE, WHOSE KINDNESS IS INSPIRING HER STUDENTS TO BECOME TEACHERS THEMSELVES AT HAYGOOD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. BUENOS DIAS. IF YOU ASK JENNIFER FULKER STUDENTS TO DESCRIBE HER USTED. OH, GOSH, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START. SHE'S FUNNY. SHE'S ENJOYABLE TO BE AROUND. BUT ASK THEM ABOUT HER CLASS. IT'S MORE OF OKAY, I GET TO GO TO SPANISH CLASS NOW. I'M GOING TO WAKE UP. I'M GOING TO GET GOING. YOU KNOW? IT'S ENJOYABLE TO BE IN THAT CLASS. KAY DIA ES HOY. OR RATHER, JUST TAKE A LOOK INSIDE. YOU CAN SET UP, SET UP, SHOP ANYWHERE. GO SIT NEXT TO YOUR PARTNER. SHE LIKES THE KIDS TO MOVE AROUND, TO BE IN GROUPS, TO TALK. INCREDIBLY, ALL OF THE FUN AND GAMES LIKE A GAME OF CHARADES ON THIS MORNING. THIS IS. SERVING A LARGER PURPOSE. I HOPE THEY LEARN THAT THEY CAN STEP IN AND TRY. AND I HOPE THEY FEEL CONNECTED TO THE OTHER STUDENTS IN CLASS, TO THEMSELVES, TO THE WORLD AT LARGE. TODOS COMO ES. JENNIFER FOLKERS, WHOSE VIBRANT PERSONALITY AND BOUNDLESS ENERGY KEEP HER STUDENTS LAUGHING WHILE LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE AT NORTH BUNCOMBE HIGH SCHOOL.

LIKE SO MANY TEACHERS WERE FOR ME. BE A HERO. I GREW UP IN A CHILDREN'S HOME IN GREENWOOD, AND SO TEACHERS HAVE ALWAYS MADE A HUGE IMPACT IN MY LIFE. EVEN IF HE DIDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHERE IT WOULD LEAD HIM, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT SUBJECT I WANTED TO TEACH. IT REALLY DIDN'T MATTER. YEAH, GOOD. AWESOME. MR. WHITACRE ENDED UP TEACHING A CLASS THAT STUDENTS MAY NOT ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE ANGLES OF EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE? I HAVE STUDENTS COME IN AND THEY HATE MATH. OR THEY'RE LIKE, I CAN'T DO THIS. AND I BELIEVE ANY STUDENT CAN. WE JUST GOT TO PUSH THROUGH. AND FOR THIS HERO, THAT'S MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. I WANT THEM TO BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES AND KNOW THAT THEY'RE WORTHY. YOU KNOW, WHETHER THAT IS IN MATH OR JUST, YOU KNOW, IN LIFE. TODD WHITACRE, WHO BELIEVES THAT ANY STUDENT CAN SUCCEED IN MATH WHEN THEIR TEACHER BELIEVES IN THEM AT STERLING SCHOOL, AT CHARLES TOWN CENTER, I PROMISE COACH MATTHEW BROPHY LOVES HIS JOB.

INSTEAD OF DESKS KITCHEN TABLES, EACH STUDENT WITH THEIR OWN SPECIFIC PATH BASED ON THEIR OWN SPECIFIC NEEDS. SHE UNDERSTANDS WHERE THEY NEED TO BE ACADEMICALLY, BUT IS MEETING THEM WHERE THEY ARE. ALL 39 OF HER STUDENTS. SO WE REALLY ARE RIDING 39 LESSON PLANS FOR EVERY SUBJECT AREA. MISS VAN DYSON SAYS IT'S HER PURPOSE. I WANTED TO BE THEIR CHAMPION. I WANTED TO ROOT THEM ON. I WANTED TO SEE WHAT WAS BEST IN THEM. I WANTED THEM TO SEE WHAT WAS BEST IN THEM. LAUREN VAN DYSON, USING THE MONTESSORI METHOD TO GIVE HER STUDENTS THE CONFIDENCE THEY NEED TO SUCCEED AT LIBERTY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. AND TO SEE HOW THE PHOTO WILL LOOK BEST. ASHLEY REEVES WAS MARGARET BISHOP'S EIGHTH GRADE TEACHER. SHE IS SUCH A GREAT ROLE MODEL FOR ME. MARGARET IS NOW A HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR AND LOOKING BACK ON THE TEACHERS WHO INFLUENCED HER THE MOST. SHE'S ALSO NOT AFRAID TO LIKE, GET DOWN ON MY LEVEL AND HAVE FUN WITH ME. REMEMBER THE DRIVE IN? SHE SAYS MISS REEVES TAUGHT HER LESSONS IN EIGHTH GRADE THAT SHE'S USED EVERY DAY SINCE. BUT SHE'S T TAUGHT ME THAT YOU JUST HAVE TO GIVE YOURSELF SOME PATIENCE, GIVE YOURSELF PATIENCE. AND THEN ALSO WITH PATIENCE WITH OTHERS. IT'S JUST A GREAT FEELING TO KNOW THAT EVERYTHING THAT I DO HELPS THEM ALL TO BE BETTER PEOPLE IN THE FUTURE. HELPING MIDDLE SCHOOLERS NAVIGATE WHAT CAN BE A TOUGH TIME. I THINK MIDDLE SCHOOL IS PROBABLY SOME OF THE TOUGHEST TIMES. YOU'RE AWKWARD. YOU HAVE ALL THESE DIFFERENT FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS AND KNOWING THAT SHE'S THERE TO MAKE THE JOURNEY A LITTLE BIT EASIER. ASHLEY REEVES, TEACHING HER STUDENTS LESSONS THAT THEY CARRY WITH THEM EVEN AFTER THEY LEAVE HER CLASS AT GETTYS MIDDLE SCHOOL. IT. THE FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN. LET'S SPELL. SIT TOGETHER. READY? IT WAS A VERY NERVE WRACKING PROCESS FOR ME. GOOD. UNTIL MORGAN STARR MET HER SON'S NEW TEACHER. EVEN JUST MEETING HER AT MEET THE TEACHER THE WEEK BEFORE SCHOOL JUST MADE ME FEEL SO COMFORTABLE. I KNEW THAT HE WAS GOING TO BE IN GOOD HANDS. MARY KATHERINE YOUNG TAKES HER JOB VERY SERIOUSLY. IT'S MY PRIVILEGE TO GET TO BE THEIR INTRODUCTION TO SCHOOL AND HELP THEM LOVE SCHOOL AND LEARN WHAT SCHOOL IS ALL ABOUT. GOOD. THEY HAVE A THICK LAYER OF FAT THAT KEEPS THEM WARM, PUTTING IN THE TIME TO GET TO KNOW ALL OF HER STUDENTS. SOME DO COME IN SO NERVOUS AND SOME COME IN BOLD AND READY TO READY TO DO SO. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US AS TEACHERS TO KIND OF MEET THEM WHERE THEY ARE, AND FROM THERE, WATCHING THEM BLOSSOM. BY THE END OF THE YEAR, THEY'VE JUST EXPLODED AND THEY'RE JUST TAKING IN EVERYTHING. THEY'RE LITTLE SPONGES. THIS ONE'S CALLED MARY KATHERINE YOUNG, MAKING STUDENTS AND PARENTS FEEL AT EASE FROM THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL AND BEYOND. AT OAKVIEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, THESE TEACHERS ARE GIVING THEIR STUDENTS THEHE FREEDOM TO BE CREATIVE AND EVEN GIVING THEM THE FREEDOM TO FAIL.

WE'LL KEEP LOOKING AT THE TAX RATES BECAUSE SHE'S SHOWING THEM MATH IS ALL AROUND US. WHETHER YOU'RE A MATH PERSON OR NOT.

WHEN MY STUDENTS CAN MAKE A CONNECTION TO SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS AN M&M. AMY MCJUNKIN BELIEVES IN MAKING CONNECTIONS. IT HELPS THEM TO RECALL THE INFORMATION, AND SOMETIMES IT'S MAKING CONNECTIONS WITH HER STUDENTS. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU TAKE THE TIME TO GET TO KNOW THE CHILDREN DEEPER THAN AN ACADEMIC SETTING. IF ANYONE NEEDS TO TALK TO HER, SHE LETS THEM TALK. AND WHEN LUNDY HAS NEEDED HER THE MOST, MISS MCJUNKIN HAS BEEN THERE. MY WIFE PASSED AWAY LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. SORRY TO HEAR THAT. SO. AND LUNDY'S MOTHER SHARING HER OWN EXPERIENCES BUILDING A SPECIAL BOND.

MISS MCJUNKIN SHARES HER WARMTH AND UNDERSTANDING WITH ALL OF HER STUDENTS. A TEACHER'S ROLE IN A CHILD'S LIFE IS VERY IMPORORTANT, AND TE REALLY GOOD TEACHERS ALWAYS HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT, AND THE REALLY GREAT TEACHERS ALWAYS HAVE A LIFE CHANGING IMPACT. AMY MCJUNKIN BUILDING SPECIAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH HER STUDENTS THROUGH COMPASSION AND KINDNESS AT EAST END ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. SILENT E MORE THAN 40 YEARS IN THE CLASSROOM.

HER STUDENTS. ANY TIME SOMEBODY IS GETTING, RECEIVING SOMETHING, THEY'RE THEY'RE THE FIRST ONES TO CONGRATULATE THEM. CONSONANT. GREEN IS THE. VOWEL. YES. IT'S CLEAR WHY SHE DOES WHAT SHE DOES. YOU JUST HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, LOOK AT THIS CHILD. AND WHAT DO THEY NEED? AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET THERE TO SUCCEED? HOW MANY SOUNDS WERE THERE? BECKY POOLE KEEPING HER CLASS CREATIVE AND INNOVATIVE TO HELP HER STUDENTS REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL AT BETHEL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. WE ARE SO EXCITED NOW TO BE JOINED BY MELISSA LOVELL WITH INGLES, WHO'S HERE TO TALK TO US ABOUT WHAT THIS PARTNERSHIP MEANS BETWEEN INGLES AND THE GOLDEN APPLE. WHAT WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR INGLES TO BE INVOLVED IN SOMETHING LIKE THE GOLDEN APPLE? YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE BEING INVOLVED IN THE FUTURE OF OUR COMMUNITY, RIGHT? I MEAN, OUR TEACHERS ARE TEACHING OUR FUTURE LEADERS, OUR FUTURE PARTICIPANTS, OUR FUTURE MOTHERS AND FATHERS AND FAMILIES OF OUR COMMUNITY. AND FOR US, THAT IS SUCH AN HONOR TO BE ABLE TO BE PART OF IT. THIS IS OUR 11TH YEAR PARTNERING WITH THAT, AND EACH YEAR IT GETS BETTER AND BETTER, PARTICULARLY THIS YEAR. NOW, AFTER ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH, TEACHERS GO THROUGH SO MUCH AND GUIDE OUR STUDENTS THROUGH SO MANY THINGS, THROUGH TRAGEDIES AND IN LIFE AND ENVIRONMENTAL AND AND THROUGH ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY DEAL WITH IN LEARNING. IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO HONOR THEM. AND WE FEEL THAT WAY. LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE MORE. INGLES IS SO SUPPORTIVE WHEN IT COMES TO HONORING OUR TEACHERS, BECAUSE YOU ALL SEE THE IMPACT THAT THESE TEACHERS HAVE. WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT THAT WE TAKE TIME TO SAY THANK YOU TO THEM? WELL, I THINK THAT IT IS A RECOGNITION THAT TO THE TEACHERS THAT THEY HAVE THE SUPPORT OF THE COMMUNITY, THE BUSINESSES, THE MEDIA, BUT ALSO, I MEAN, PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND I, I'VE BEEN THROUGH THAT FACT THAT IF I DIDN'T HAVE A PARTICULAR TEACHER IN MY LIFE, I MAY NOT BE WHERE I AM NOW. AND SO I THINK ALL OF US CAN LOOK BACK AND SAY, THAT WAS THAT ONE PERSON OUTSIDE OF OUR FAMILY THAT REALLY INFLUENCED US, AND WE STILL REMEMBER THEM, AND WE STILL VALUE THEM SO MUCH. AND SO I THINK THAT IS A REALLY GREAT WAY TO CELEBRATE THEM. MELISSA, THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US.

I'M JUST MYSELF. AND BY JUST BEING HERSELF, MISS JOHNSON IS BRIGHTENING UP THE SCHOOL DAY FOR FIRST GRADERS AT DIAMOND HILL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. IT. RHONDA THOMASON'S GRANDSON, RHETT, IS IN MISS JOHNSON'S CLASS. HE LOVES MISS JOHNSON SO MUCH. AND I JUST THOUGHT THIS GIRL DESERVES SOME PRAISE AND RECOGNITION. SHE'S KIND, AND HE LOVES LEARNING JUST AS MUCH AS MISS JOHNSON LOVES TEACHING. I GREET MY STUDENTS AT THE DOOR, AND HERE HE COMES DOWN THE HALL, AND HE ALWAYS HAS THE BIGGEST SMILE ON HIS FACE. WHAT ARE THESE CALLED? ASHTON JOHNSON BRINGING FUN INTO FIRST GRADE WITH A PERSONALITY JUST AS VIBRANT AS HER COLORFUL CLASSROOM AT DIAMOND HILL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. WHAT DO WE NEED TO WEAR? SHE'S A PRETTY INCREDIBLE. RILEY HAS BEEN MR. ALLMAN'S TEACHING ASSISTANT FOR A YEAR NOW. SHE WILL DO ANYTHING FOR ANYBODY. AND THAT'S ALL THE TIME IT TOOK FOR HER TO REALIZE MR. ALLMAN IS SPECIAL. WE ALWAYS SAY SHE HAS HER SUPERPOWERS. THE POWER TO HELP ALL CHILDREN LEARN. MOST OF MY BOYS AND GIRLS ARE FUNCTIONALLY NONVERBAL. WE'RE WORKING ON COMMUNICATIONON SKILLS AND THE POWER TO INSPIRE OTHERS TO DO THE SAME. I JUST I LOOK UP TO HER SO MUCH. SHE EVERYTHING SHE DOES AND IT'S FOR THE THESE CHILDREN. SO THAT TOGETHER WITH THE TEAM SHE INSPIRES AND THE TEAM THAT INSPIRES HER. ONE THING WILL BE CERTAIN IN HER CLASSROOM AND KELLEY'S CLASS AND OUR CLASS HOPE THERE WILL BE HOPE. KELLY ALLMAN, A ROLE MODEL FOR HER STUDENTS AND FOR HER TEAM OF TEACHERS AT MCLEAEAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. CAN YOU GIVE ME A THUMBS UP? JENNIFER WADE KNOWS TEACHING ANY GRADE LEVEL OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CAN BE A CHALLENGE. IT IS DEFINITELY NOT EASY. RIGHT NOW, SHE'S TEACHING FIRST GRADE, BUT SHE'S TAUGHT FIRST, SECOND, AND FIFTH GRADE. AND THE STUDENT WHO NOMINATED HER HAD HER AS A TEACHER TWICE. I JUST REMEMBER THINKING, SHE'S GOING TO DO BIG THINGS, BUT IT'S WHAT MISS WADE DID AS A FIFTH GRADE TEACHER THAT MOTIVATED HER FORMER STUDENT TO NOMINATE HER. I REALLY WANTED THEM TO SIT DOWN AT A YOUNG AGE. TELL ME, WHAT DO YOU SEE YOURSELF DOING IN TEN YEARS AND 20 YEARS? WRITING A LETTER TO THEIR FUTURE SELVES THAT THEY'LL READ AGAIN AS A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL? AND I'M HOPING THAT THAT LETTER THAT IS BEING SENT BACK TO THEM AS A SENIOR, THEY'RE ABLE TO LOOK BACK AND SEE THAT AMBITION AND THAT ENTHUSIASM, BECAUSE MISS WADE WANTS THESE LITTLE MINDS TO DREAM BIG. JENNIFER WADE, TEACHING HER STUDENTS TO DREAM BIG TODAY AND REMINDING THEM OF THE PROMISES THEY MADE TO THEMSELVES. YEARS LATER. AT FOREST ACRES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. WHETHER A TEACHER HAS BEEN IN THE CLASSROOM FOR DECADES, OR WHETHER THEY'RE JUST STARTING OUT, THEY ARE ALWAYS ABLE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THESE NEXT TEACHERS ARE FIXTURES IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND NEW LEADERS IN THEIR SCHOOLS. WE'RE GOING TO DO THE COMPOUND SENTENCE THING AGAIN. IN A TOWN LIKE HONEA PATH. EVERYONE SEEMS TO KNOW EVERYONE. IF THEY WENT THROUGH HONEA PATH MIDDLE SCHOOL WITHIN THE LAST FEW YEARS, THEY'VE PROBABLY EXPERIENCED AND HAD SOME INTERACTION WITH KATHY SOUTHERLAND, ESPECIALLY WHEN MISS SOUTHERLAND HAS BEEN TEACHING AT HONEA PATH MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR NEARLY 40 YEARS. IT'S BEEN MY SECOND HOME. MISS SOUTHERLAND HAS SEEN MANY STUDENTS PASS THROUGH THE DOORS OF HONEA PATH MIDDLE SCHOOL. THE GENERATIONAL IMPACT THAT SHE'S HAD IN THIS COMMUNITY, SERVING SO MANY FAMILIES, SERVING SO MANY CHILDREN. BUT NOW MISS SOUTHERLAND IS GETTING READY TO CLOSE HER CHAPTER AS AN EDUCATOR. I REALLY THINK IF SHE COULD DO THIS FOREVER, SHE WOULD BE PLANNING TO RETIRE AT THE END OF THIS SCHOOL YEAR. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLACE THAT LEVEL OF EXPERTISE. JUST BEING ABLE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN ONE CHILD'S LIFE IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO ME. KATHY SOUTHERLAND, A FIXTURE FOR NEARLY 40 YEARS, LEAVING A LASTING IMPACT AT HONEA PATH MIDDLE SCHOOL. I GUESS, YEAH. WHY DO YOU FEEL THAT WAY? MAKING CLASS INTERESTING FOR MIDDLE SCHOOLERS. TRYING TO RELATE EVERYTHING TO THE REAL WORLD IS A TOP PRIORITY FOR MCKENNA STOVER. THEY SEE WHEN IT'S NOT IMPORTANT. THEY KNOW WHEN IT'S SOMETHING BORING. SO ON DAYS LIKE TODAY, SHE GETS THEM OUT OF THE BOOKS AND UP ON THEIR FEET TO ACT OUT THE THINGS THEY'RE LEARNING. IT'S BETTER. AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT FITS THEM. IT FITS THEIR PERSONALITY. AND THAT KIND OF BRINGS THE INTEREST BACK INTO IT. MISS STOVER'S OTHER PRIORITIES AT SCHOOL, ALMOST EVERYTHING ELSE. SHE'S DEPARTMENT CHAIR OF THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT, ASSISTANT ATHLETIC DIRECTOR, AND SHE EVEN RUNS A TUTORING PROGRAM. SHE SAYS SHE'S STILL LEARNING EVERY DAY. I'M STILL GROWING, SO I KIND OF, YOU KNOW, SAY THAT TO THEM, TOO. I MAKE MISTAKES EVERY DAY. I MESS UP A LOT. SOMETHING SHE SAYS SHE AND HER STUDENTS HAVE IN COMMON. I TRY TO LET THEM KNOW, LIKE I'M LEARNING TO. LIKE, WE'RE DOING THIS TOGETHER. YOU CAN ASSUME THEY'RE GOING WHERE? AWAY? MCKENNA STOVER MAKING THE MOST OF HER FIRST FEW YEARS IN THE CLASSROOM AT FISHER M MIDDLE SCHOOL. ARE YOU JULIET? ROMEO SAID, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THIS IS A NORMAL DAY. HAVE TO HAVE SWORDS IN MISS ELLIOT'S CLASS. I LIKE THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX. AND WITH A GRANT SHE RECEIVED, WE WERE ABLE TO BUY LOTS OF COSTUMES. AND THAT IS HOW HER STUDENTS ARE LEARNING ROMEO AND JULIET. ROMEO DIES. WHAT CAN I DO DIFFERENTLY TO MAKE THIS ACTIVITY MORE MEMORABLE? WHEN JULIA GEORGE WAS PART OF A CRAFT FAIR OFF CAMPUS, YOU CAN GUESS WHO SHOWED UP TO SUPPORT HER. SHE SAID, THERE SHE IS, I SAID, WHO? SHE SAID, MISS ELLIOT, SHE CAME. AND THOSE MOMENTS ARE WHY MISS ELLIOT TEACHES. IF YOU'RE JUST ABOUT THE BOOK AND YOU'RE JUST ABOUT THE CONTENT, YOU'RE NOT A TEACHER. A TEACHER TEACHES ABOUT LIFE. AND WHEN THE LESSONS ARE COMPLETE, MISS ELLIOT WANTS TO BE REMEMBERED FOR SOMETHING THAT CAN'T BE TAUGHT. WHEN I SEE THEM IN TEN YEARS, THEY DON'T HUG ME BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW TO USE A COMMA. THEY HUG ME BECAUSE THEY REMEMBER THAT I LOVE THEM. PAM ELLIOT PUTTING HER STUDENTS INTO THE LESSONS AND MAKING THE MATERIAL EVEN MORE MEMORABLE. AT BLACKSBURG MIDDLE SCHOOL.

LISA HARTMAN, TEACHING FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADE LANGUAGE ARTS AND SOCIAL STUDIES AT NORTHSIDE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN OCONEE COUNTY. I WOULD DESCRIBE MY TEACHING STYLE OF NOT ONLY OUTSIDE OF THE BOX, BUT ON TOP OF THE BOX. REALLY GETTING INTO CHARACTER. I HAVE NO PROBLEM BEING RIDICULOUS AT ANY POINT DURING THE DAY TO MAKE HER LESSONS COME ALIVE. DON GREEN TEACHING SPECIAL EDUCATION AT O.P. EARLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN SPARTANBURG COUNTY. I WANT THEM TO FEEL LIKE THERE AREN'T DOORS CLOSED OR MISSED OPPORTUNITIES. I JUST WANT TO BE A DOOR OPENER FOR THEM. EMPOWERING HER STUDENTS TO BE UNSTOPPABLE. I WANT THEM TO FEEL LIKE THEY CAN DO ANYTHING. TIA SULLIVAN TEACHING CHORUS AT J.L. MANN HIGH SCHOOL IN GREENVILLE COUNTY. THEY ARE MY ASSIGNMENT. MUSIC IS THE MEDIUM, INSPIRING HER STUDENTS TO SHARE WHAT THEY'VE LEARNED WITH THE NEXT GENERATION OF MUSISICIANS. I WANT THEM TO BE BETTER. BETTER IN SOCIETY. GIVE BACK, LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH AND KEEP MUSIC ALIVE. KELLY JEROLOMAN TEACHING SPECIAL EDUCATION AT MCLEES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN ANDERSON COUNTY. I AM A CHRISTIAN AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A CALLING. BY GOD. I AM SERVING HIM BY WHAT I DO EVERY DAY, FULFILLING HER CALL TO HELP EACH STUDENT ON AN INDIVIDUAL PATH TO SUCCESS. WHEN YOU TEACH KIDS TO LOVE TO LEARN, THEY LOVE TO BE AT SCHOOL. AND THAT'S KIND OF OUR BIG MOTTO IN HERE. AND PAM ELLIOTT, TEACHING ENGLISH AT BLACKSBURG MIDDLE SCHOOL IN CHEROKEE COUNTY. WHAT CAN I DO DIFFERENTLY TO MAKE THIS ACTIVITY MORE MEMORABLE? WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE THEM LOVE IT? JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE? STEPPING INTO A STORY ALONGSIDE HER STUDENTS TO BRING WORDS ON A PAGE TO LIFE. YOU CAN'T BE STIFF. YOU'VE GOT TO GET DOWN, GET DOWN AND LEARN WITH THEM. CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS YEAR'S GOLDEN APPLE AWARD TEACHER OF THE YEAR FINALISTS. AND NOW IT'S TIME TO MEET THIS YEAR'S GOLDEN APPLE AWARD. TEACHER OF THE YEAR. THE JUDGES WERE IMPRESSED BY THIS TEACHER'S DEDICATION TO REALLY IMMERSING HER STUDENTS IN THE SUBJECT MATTER THROUGH WRITING GRANTS FOR SPECIAL SUPPLIES AND BRINGING IN OVER THE TOP THEMED DECORATIONS TO TRANSFORM HER CLASSROOM. THIS TEACHER SHOWS US LESSONS. JUST DON'T STICK. IF THE STUDENTS AREN'T HAVING FUN. WE ARE HERE AT BLACKSBURG MIDDLE SCHOOL TO SURPRISE OUR 2025 GOLDEN APPLE AWARD TEACHER OF THE YEAR. SHE KNOWS THAT WE'RE COMING TO GET A LITTLE EXTRA VIDEO, BUT SHE HAS NO IDEA SHE'S ABOUT TO BE NAMED TEACHER OF THE YEAR. SO COME ON, LET'S GO SURPRISE HER. RECREATE A SCENE. PAM ELLIOTT AND HER STUDENTS WERE PREPARED FOR A VISIT FROM WYFF NEWS FOUR TODAY. I WAS JUST TOLD THAT Y'ALL HAD TO GET EXTRA FOOTAGE, BUT NOT A VISIT LIKE THIS. MISS ELLIOTT SURPRISE! YOU'RE OUR GOLDEN APPLE WINNER TEACHER OF THE YEAR. AT HER FAMILY. HER STUDENTS S AND HER NOMINATO. ALL THERE FOR THE BIG SURPRISE. THE BEST TEACHER EVER. PART OF THE REASON JULIA NOMINATED MISS ELLIOTT WAS BECAUSE OF THE WAY SHE SUPPORTS HER JEWELRY MAKING BUSINESS. AND GUESS WHAT? MISS ELLIOTT IS WEARING TODAY. I WORE MY JULIA NECKLACE. IF THERE'S A WAY THAT MISS ELLIOTT CAN PUT A SMILE ON HER STUDENTS FACES, JUST SEEING THEM HAPPY AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING, THAT'S JUST WHAT I ALWAYS TRY TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. SHE'S GOING TO DO IT. THEY ALWAYS BUY INTO MY CRAZY ACTIVITIES, AND I LOVE HANGING OUT WITH THEM. LIKE TODAY. I BET SHE SAT IN THIS CHAIR. I BET SHE WALKED ON THIS RUG. WHEN THEY'RE WRAPPING UP A LESSON ON A BOOK SET IN THE 1960S, THEY ALL WERE SO EXCITED, I SAID, LET'S WEAR TIE DYE. WE'RE GOING TO DO THE 60S DANCES AND ALL. THEY WERE LIKE, CALM DOWN, MISS ELLIOTT. CALM DOWN. WE'RE NOT DANCING IN FRONT OF THE TV. ARE YOU JULIET'S DAD OR ROMEO'S DAD? LAST TIME WE VISITED HER CLASSROOM, MISS ELLIOTT'S STUDENTS WERE DRESSED UP AS THE CHARACTERS FROM ROMEO AND JULIET. ROMEO DIES. JULIA IS CONSTANTLY TALKING ABOUT THINGS THEY'RE DOING DRESSING UP, ACTING OUT. AND IN ADDITION TO WEARING THEIR TIEE DYE TODAY, THEY'RE ALSO MAKING CLAY SCULPTURES. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE LEARNING THE CONTENT, BUT WHAT'S THE BEST, MOST AMAZING WAY TO PRESENT THAT CONTENT? AND AS MUCH FUN AS MISS ELLIOTT HAS, TEACHING HER STUDENTS. THIS IS MY 31ST YEAR, AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MIDDLE SCHOOL. I LOVE EIGHTH GRADERS. THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR IS BITTERSWEET FOR HER AS HER STUDENTS MOVE ON TO HIGH SCHOOL. YOU'RE WITH A GROUP FOR 190 DAYS, AND THEN YOU JUST DON'T SEE THEM ANYMORE. BUT FILLING THOSE 190 DAYS, LEARNING LAUGHTER AND A LOT OF LOVE, SCHOOL CANNOT JUST BE ABOUT LEARNING THE CONTENT. IT'S GOT TO BE ABOUT LIFE. AND LIFE IS ABOUT LOVE. AND THEY NEED TO FEEL LOVED. IT'S THE SWEETEST THING IN THE WHOLE LIFE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE ALSO LEARNED THAT MISS ELLIOTT HAD A SURPRISE FOR JULIA THIS YEAR. MISS ELLIOTT SURPRISED JULIA BY WRITING A SPECIAL PAGE IN HER DANCE RECITAL PROGRAM. MISS ELLIOTT WROTE IN PART, YOU HAVE BEEN A SHINING LIGHT IN MY CLASSROOM, KIND HEARTED, RESPECTFUL AND FULL OF POSITIVITY. YOU'VE MADE THIS YEAR TRULY SPECIAL AND I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE JOY YOU BROUGHT AND WHAT A JOY IT IS FOR US TO CELEBRATE THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN OUR TEACHERS AND THEIR STUDENTS. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF THIS YEAR'S GOLDEN APPLE AWARD WINNERS, AND TO ALL EDUCATORS. THANK YOU FOR WORKING TIRELESSLY AND GIVING YOUR VERY BEST TO YOUR STUDENTS EACH AND EVERY DAY. YOUR HARD WORK AND DEDICATION TO YOUR STUDENTS DO NOT GO UNNOTICED, AND IT IS A PRIVILEGE TO CELEBRATE YOU. THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO, AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING US FOR THIS YEAR'S GOLDEN APPLE AWARD, SALUTING OUR TEACHERS. HAVE A WONDERFUL EVENING. ...
