Last October, my son’s teacher Ms. Bird talked to me about Lota being tired in class and how he was complaining about not seeing the smart board that well. As a Mom, I was starting to have “that Mom feeling” that something was not right with Lota, and after speaking with Ms. Bird a few […]

I absolutely would be an ungrateful sloth if I did not take the opportunity to nominate two teachers from Tolman Elementary School in Bountiful for the KSL Newsradio Teacher Feature Award. Over the last three kids, we have found that there is a very special First Grade Teacher and Second Grade Teacher at this school. […]
