'The Friendliest Teacher': Why A Plainfield Educator Was Shouted Out

PLAINFIELD, IL — Great teachers matter. In Plainfield, we're fortunate to have teachers like Robin Anderson.

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

This submission comes from Christine Kotarba who nominated Robin Anderson of Plainfield.

Teacher’s name

Robin Anderson

How do you know the teacher?

I’m the school crossing guard and I see her every morning.

What does this person teach?

Special Ed

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

She is the first person the kids see before entering school. She knows every child by name and is loud and welcoming as they cross and drive into the school driveway! Great way to start the day for the kids! I do the same because who knows what going on in home! They all need to be acknowledged and sent into school with a smile on their face and a little love in their hearts!

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

She’s the friendliest teacher I’ve ever encountered!
