Congratulations to Ms. Johnson on being selected this month's ROE Employee of the Month for Illinois City Elementary. Ms. Johnson is a kindergarten teacher, and she works to build positive relationships with her students. That effort shines in the energy and enjoyment her students display in the classroom. Ms. Johnson also brings her own energy to the rest of the building, often seen welcoming students to school in the morning and connecting with older students in the hallways, lunch, or recesses. She also is an assistant coach for the RHS Dance team, which recently qualified for the state finals. Go Rockets, and Go Ms. Johnson!
