The students are kinder humans because of her - #UCSChampions

Mrs. DeWitte cares for her first graders as her own.

DeWitteHer enthusiasm for the students and passion to keep them engaged whether virtual or in-seat has made this challenging year one of hope and resilience. She greets them with a smile (under the mask) and keeps their brains growing daily in writing, math, and science fun with caterpillars.

Most importantly, she values each child. She sends thorough communications to parents and celebrates accomplishments all year long! She is a true hero!

We thank her for always being a constant, loving teacher to all the students. The students are kinder humans because of her, and will soar into second grade with her compassion and work ethic instilled in them.
