Boosting Kids' Confidence: Wilmington Teacher Spotlight

WILMINGTON, MA — Great teachers matter. In Wilmington, we’re fortunate to have teachers like Crystal O'Keefe.

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

This submission comes from Lisa McDonough, who nominated Crystal O'Keefe, of Wilmington:

How do you know the teacher?

My daughter's 7th grade ELA teacher.

What does this person teach?

7th grade ELA.

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

Mrs. O'Keefe goes out of her way to look out for kids who are shy or anxious, advocates for her students to get them what they need, and made her class a safe haven for my daughter and other students who needed an extra confidence boost.

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

Mrs. O'Keefe has four children of her own and still makes time to write notes and letters to students to build them up. It's these little extras that make such a difference in kids' lives.
