Branford Art Teacher 'Is Dedicated In A Way Not Often Seen'

BRANFORD, CT — Great teachers matter. In Branford, we're fortunate to have teachers like Donna Roy.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize teachers and show them how much they’re valued and appreciated.

This submission comes from Theodore Roy who nominated colleague and art teacher Donna Roy of Branford.

Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

Because Mrs. Roy is dedicated in a way not often seen, despite many challenges. While hanging multiple posters to be compliant and help students a couple years ago, Mrs. Roy fell and broke many bones including her shoulder, wrist and part of her hip. She continued to teach with a scooter taking minimal days off. She would not sacrifice her students’ learning.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

That Mrs. Roy loves teaching, she loves to inspire the youth, and she has spent her life bettering to lives of others.
