Teacher of the Month: Ms. Keyonna Cornell Cubs A

Our Spotlight teacher is well deserved, Ms. Keyonna. She is our Cornell Cubs A teacher. She is a hard worker and very vibrant. Her colleagues and students, as well as the many children who are not even in her class adore Ms. Keyonna. At times children have refused to leave the building because they did not want to leave her. Ms. Keyonna is a team player often giving support to her fellow co-workers and filling in when needed. She will stay late or come in early without hesitation. Ms. Keyonna is also very creative which makes for a beautiful classroom and lobby. She is a dedicated part of our Ivy League Family and we honor her as Julys teacher of the month. Sincerely, Deer Park Administration and staff .
