Congratulations to Ms. Sara Klure, a second grade teacher at Rolling Hills Public Charter School in Boise, ID. She has been awarded a $250 New Classroom Start-Up Grant to purchase classroom novel sets that would allow each student to have their own copy during novel units and more books for the class’ independent reading library. NWPE Regional Director Brenda Miller awarded the grant a staff meeting. New to NWPE, Sara chose NWPE after having not been part of a professional organization for about 6 years. “I was unhappy with my past organization because there were a lot of secret meetings and political agendas. I appreciate that NWPE keeps their messages focused on ways to keep teaching professional and that they do not affiliate themselves with political agendas.”
As a new second grade teacher, Ms. Klure feels that her biggest challenge is covering all the curriculum expected to be mastered by her students. “I am re-evaluating my pacing and lesson delivery methods each day so that I can make sure to maximize the concepts I am teaching to my students. I want to make sure I am teaching in a way that they can achieve mastery.” After so many years without a professional educators association to call home, NWPE is privileged to have earned Ms. Klure’s membership and trust. Congratulations again to a dedicated teacher!

Ms. Klure has served in a variety of education roles. Prior to this school year she taught elementary school for 6 years and then substituted after the birth of her son. She also worked as an Educational Assistant in her current school. She looks at each day as a fresh start. “I learn from the mistakes of yesterday and make new mistakes so I can be a better teacher tomorrow. Watching my students develop and mature academically and socially inspires me to come to work every day. I am growing as a person right beside my students. We have so much to learn from each other.”
