SITE TEACHER OF THE YEAR SPOTLIGHT (in no particular order): Natalie Massey, 6th & 7th Grade Academy
1. Natalie Massey is a first-year teacher and began substituting for Muskogee Public Schools in 2021. She was also honored as a recipient of the Arvest Bank “We Heart Teachers” initiative, receiving $500 for classroom supplies.
2. The best teaching advice she has received is to know your students outside of their academics. One of the number one ways to have an effective classroom is by building a sincere relationship with your students.
3. When asked what her classroom theme song would be, she said it would be “Linus and Lucy.” Her classroom has a distinct Snoopy theme that has grown through student art and gifts.
The District Teacher of the Year will be announced April 30th during our annual Superintendent's Honors Banquet. Stay tuned!
