Golden Apple Award winner: Congratulations to Amy Marx!
VICTOR, N.Y. (WROC) — Congratulations to Amy Marx, our latest Golden Apple Award winner. Marx is a Kindergarten teacher in Victor and is one of those teachers that everyone wants to learn from.
Early Childhood School Principal Robert DeRose says, 'She is positive, she is joyful. She does everything that every child needs. She supports our families, she supports her colleagues and brings joy and happiness to our hallway, school and certainly her classroom.'
Inside her Kindergarten classroom, Marx teaches kids to read and write and how to be kind. Parent Erin Fittipaldi says, 'She is the kindest, most genuine person you will meet, and she carries that into the classroom as well.'
Marx has been teaching for more than 25 years and most of that time has been spent in Kindergarten. She told News 8, 'These little loves. This is when all the magic happens. This is when they learn how to read and write, and everything for them is just so grand. Their hearts, this is the only place you can come when you first come in that they all give you hugs and love every single day. It's just so special.'
'Her students feel loved, her families feel supported, and every child makes phenomenal progress both with their academics as well as their social, emotional, and behavioral skills,' Principal DeRose said.
She feels like she's the lucky one though, getting to call 'teaching' her job.
'It feels so special. These kids work so hard every day, and it's just the best. Kindergarten is fantastic,' said Marx.
