It is time to celebrate a fantastic teacher in Green Country.
Every month, 2 News Oklahoma celebrates an excellent educator whom our viewers nominated.
January’s winner is Madame Leslie Wright from Owasso Public Schools.
While everyone focused on Madame Wright, she focused on her students and Owasso High School.
“I am very grateful for where I am, for my students and all the support and love,” Madame Wright said.
Her nominator said Madame Wright is always looking for new and better methods of teaching foreign language.
“It’s important to be able to keep them motived, so I wanted to find ways that interested them and give them some choice, and just keep them going forward and learning and wanting to know that they can learn a language,” Madame Wright said. “They can use that language, and they’re amazing people, and there’s a lot out there for them.”
One of those outstanding students, Abigail Throw, has been in Madame Wright’s class for two years.
“She’s just super compassionate,” Throw said. “She’s super nice. If we don’t get what she says, she helps us understand it in different ways.”
