Our Teacher of the Year...

"What I value most about working in the Poplar Bluff School District is who I get to spend my day with. I am blessed to be part of a team where colleagues consistently support one another, and I value the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with my students. I am truly thankful for the opportunity to watch them learn, grow, and gain confidence throughout the school year.

I strive to create a classroom where every child feels safe, supported, and valued—where a kind word, a warm smile, or a moment of encouragement can make a lasting difference. I feel incredibly fortunate to have a job I look forward to each morning."

Christine Fiske
4th Grade, Middle School
