Lynn Haven Elementary teacher simplifies subjects
LYNN HAVEN, Fla. (WMBB) – Lindsey Wallis exudes kindness and compassion across Lynn Haven Elementary's campus.
Whether it's students or faculty, everyone notices the care and dedication Wallis shares with all who walk the school's halls.
'Everybody loves working with Miss Wallace, and they go to her as a resource for friendship, camaraderie, good laughs, and smiles,' said Lynn Haven Elementary Assistant Principal Stefanie Bohannon. 'She can always make you feel better on a hard day.'
When speaking to Wallis yourself you notice immediately how much she enjoys teaching math and seeing things click in her student's heads.
'It's just really, really cool when you start a lesson and they don't understand that first day and they think they're never going to get it,' added Wallis. 'Then they can move on day two, day three, day four, and then all of a sudden they're like, 'How did I not know how to do this? It really is cool to see that growth.'

Working in the Bay District School system for nearly a decade now, Wallis knows how important it is to push her students toward success.
'There's always that push to say, 'Hey, I know you can do this.' It might be a struggle, right now, but I know that you're going to get to that end goal,' Wallis went on to say. 'Hopefully they see that in a positive way and not a negative.'
But Wallis' best quality may just be the positivity she provides every day.
'She is a ray of sunshine in everybody's lives,' Bohannon said. 'All of her students and her colleagues alike can go to her with anything and she always makes you feel better. She's got a very positive attitude and she's a great teacher, she knows her content. She's always putting her heart and soul into making sure her students learn.'
That is why Lindsey Wallis is a Class Act.
