Wilkes Community Partnership for Children recognizes Early Childhood Teacher for February

Wilkes Community Partnership for Children has a recognition program for child care teachers based on observations by the Partnership staff of outstanding achievement in child care. Each month a teacher is presented with a door plaque with the teacher’s name in appreciation for the dedication to the children they serve. In February, Wilkes Community Partnership for Children recognized Mrs. Mary Mounce and Mrs. Tory Anderson. These teachers were recognized because of their dedication to the Raising a Reader program. Raising a Reader, is a daily book sharing program between parents and their young children, implemented in 4 and 5 star facilities. Mrs. Mounce and Mrs. Anderson are NCPREK teachers at CC Wright Elementary.  Mrs. Mounce has a passion for teaching and being an advocate for children and families. She has a love of literacy and shares that passion with children in her classroom. Mrs. Anderson has worked with Wilkes County Schools for 13 years, with 12 of those years in the NCPREK program. She loves working with young children and families. Amy Mathis, Early Literacy Coordinator, stated “the teachers developed new ideas to make the program exciting and fun for families and kept the Partnership informed of their progress. I am always welcome in their classrooms and enjoy reading to their students.”

 Wilkes Community Partnership for Children appreciates their dedication to serving children in Wilkes County. Wilkes Community Partnership for Children, a local Smart Start agency, is a United Way partner agency.
