Congratulations to Miss Katie Kincaid our April Teacher of the Month. Miss Kincaid has been teaching at her alma mater, Northside Christian School, for eleven years now; and she has been teaching kindergarten for the past five years. Katie was very instrumental in establishing “activity centers” for the kindergarten students at NCS, and she truly has one of the most innovative kindergarten classrooms you will find anywhere. Katie is a teacher who consistently inspires her students to learn and develop new talents.

“Miss Kincaid is the perfect teacher for the needs of our kindergarten children,” Louise Crowder-Neri the NCS Elementary School Principal told us. “She loves each child as her own and she sets high expectations to be attained in a warm, loving atmosphere.”

From all of the comments and emails we received from the parents of Miss Kincaid’s students, it is quite obvious the Katie is loved by both the students and the families. Here are just a few of the comments we received.

“Katie is loving, with lots of positive reinforcement for her ‘kiddos’.” – Kelly Swango, parent

“We are thrilled with Miss Kincaid! She is a fantastic teacher and we are happy to send our son to her each week – knowing he is well loved, cared for and taught. We could not be happier!” – Julie White, parent

“I can’t remember when my kids shared, loved and cared so much about going to school.” – Tyre family, parent

Thank you Katie for the positive influence you are having in the lives of so many here in Pinellas. Keep up the good work.

Katie Kincaid and Elementary School Principal Louise Crowder-Neri

Know a Great Teacher?

It has been said that “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. But the great teacher inspires.”

Great teachers who stand out among their peers are the ones who genuinely care about the well-being of their students. They are kind, fun-loving, patient, understanding, and inspiring. Here in Pinellas County we have been blessed with some of the most exceptional teachers in the country. Each month, we want to recognize one of these special teachers.
