Tony Pieper presents the Iowa Reading Teacher of the Year award to Jana Sellers.

 

Jana Sellers, a kindergarten teacher at St. Mary’s School in Manchester, Iowa, and active member of Eastern Iowa Reading Council, has been selected as Iowa Reading Teacher of the Year.

Not only does Jana have a natural gift of teaching, but she has a gift of sharing a lifetime love of reading with her students.  The on-going extensive research she does to meet her students’ reading/learning needs and instill in them a love of reading, is truly incredible.  She generously shares this wealth of knowledge with her colleagues and parents.  Her work even extends throughout her community.

Quote, “She does it all.  Each student who steps into her classroom is the absolute luckiest.”
