Kevin Pullan with Kirsti Cleverly

Kirsti Cleverly from Midas Creek Elementary was recently presented with the Project 100 Teacher of the Week award.  “Kirsti can always find the positive side of things,” explains Principal Kevin Pullan.  “She works very well with difficult students.  She spends her time on the solutions rather than problems, and she communicates well with parents.  Her team appreciates her, while her students love her.”

The Project 100 Teacher of the Week award is sponsored and underwritten by the Jordan Credit Union. ★
