Tell your friends!













I am so pleased with Mrs.Tayon as Teacher of the Year! What a great candidate, Ms. Tayon was so compassionate to my granddaughter and me and found a way to assist her with reading. I counted on her so many times for help and she was always there for us even though she had a class to teach. Ms. Tayon is so worthy of this title, she is one great teacher and person.
