Kindergarten teacher Hallie Evans inspires with dedication
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – Hallie Evans has been teaching kindergarten for two years now at Tyndall Academy, but her career in education began over 19 years ago at Cherry Street Elementary.
During her time as a teacher, she has come to realize the passion and love she has for educating kindergartners and seeing them grow.
'To take them from just developing socialization skills and fine motor skills and then growing,' said Evans. 'Then they leave you reading, writing multiple sentences, adding, subtracting, it's rewarding.'
Evans' love for teaching is contagious.
Her energy radiates across the campus and is passed along to other teachers.

'But when you see that smile and you see that positivity, it really enlightens me as a teacher to say, 'OK, I know she may have had a bad day and she's taken it in. I can do the same.' Again, that just shows how well she perceives herself here at Tyndall Academy,' added Tyndall Academy teacher Jennifer Meredith.
Evans understands how important it is to keep her students engaged.
By doing so, she is able to provide memorable learning experiences.
'I provide those meaningful experiences that still correlate with the standard but it's fun,' Evans went on to say. 'So if they're excited and we can do an activity that brings something, maybe boring and tedious, some fun to it, they're going to be engaged. They're going to be wanting to learn, they're going to put forth their best effort.'
Her co-workers know how fortunate they are to have Evans working alongside them.
'She just is the epitome of an amazing teacher,' Meredith said. 'If I were to go back and say, well, my kindergarten teacher, I'd want it to be Mrs. Evans.'
That is why Hallie Evans is a Class Act.
If there is someone who you think is a Class Act, don't wait to nominate them today.
