FAVORITE TEACHER WINNER
The September/October Winner of My Favorite Teacher is...
Q: What is your name and where do you teach, what grade?

A: I am the art teacher at Bluff Park Elementary (Hoover, Alabama).
Q: How long have you been a teacher?
A: I have been at the same amazing school, in the same fabulous art room, for 25 years.
Q: Why did you want to be a teacher?
A: I have always loved creating art and being with children, so my dream job was of course being an art teacher!
Q. What is your favorite thing about being a teacher, and what is the most challenging?
A. My favorite part about teaching is getting to see how artistically talented children are. The most challenging part has been navigating education through the pandemic. This included teaching art “virtually” and then in school on a modified schedule. I taught from a cart and traveled to every classroom where each student had to have their own personal art supplies. (Not to mention the social distancing, assigned seating, face masks, hand sanitizer and temperature checks.)
Q. Is there anything you'd like to share?
A. I am married to Sean Argo, yes, we are Shawn and Sean. We have two daughters, two sons-in-law and two granddaughters.
I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, traveling the state of Alabama, creating art, reading, and shopping at thrift stores. I am so thankful for our happy school, full of the most inspiring teachers, staff and administrators who love helping every student reach their full potential. It’s exciting to see what the future holds.
