The honor is a part of the ongoing Teacher and Student of the Month series that Niceville.com features and that local businesses, like Chick-fil-A in Niceville, generously sponsor.

Mrs. Palmer, who currently imparts her wisdom to fifth-grade students, has earned the title of Teacher of the Month through her unwavering dedication and positive approach to teaching. Plew Elementary School nominated her for the award.

Described as a team player, Mrs. Palmer consistently maintains a positive attitude, creating an enriching learning environment for her students.

What sets Mrs. Palmer apart is the genuine affection she receives from her students. In their words, “She is a great teacher because she’s very supportive to her class.”

Two other students added, “I love Mrs. Palmer because she always helps me and answers my questions,” and “She is good to talk with; she makes you feel good when you’re having a bad day.”

The impact of Mrs. Palmer’s efforts is not just felt in the classroom but is expected to be life-long, Plew Elementary said in its nomination.

We applaud Mrs. Palmer for her outstanding contribution to education and congratulate her on being a Teacher of the Month.
