Congratulations to Ms. “Frankie” Frazier our May Teacher of the Month. Ms. Frazier has lived here in Pinellas County her entire life. She loves the Gulf Coast area and she absolutely loves to teach. Ms. Frazier teaches in the Pre-kindergarten program at ACKids Campus of Seminole and she is genuinely adored by all of her students.

“Ms. Frazier has a way of engaging each individual child so that they reach their maximum learning potential,” School Administrator Peggy Comerford told us. “All the children are eager to come to Ms. Frazier’s VPK classes. She is a true asset to the early childhood profession.”

When we entered Ms. Frazier classroom to surprise her and her class with a pizza party, it was quite evident that Ms. Frazier has a real passion for teaching. And as a result her students have a real heart and passion for her. Here is what just a few of her students and their parents had say about their favorite teacher.

“Ms. Frazier is a very creative and energetic teacher. All the children have a great relationship with her!” - Tabitha Lytle, parent

“Ms. Frazier tells us the best stories” – Amauriea, student

“Ms. Frazier is EXCELLENT with the kids. My son absolutely loves her!” - Amanda Gormont, parent

“She makes us the best special snacks ever” – Layla, student

“I like Ms. Frazier, because she makes me laugh” – Taylor, student

Thank you again Ms. Frazier for the positive influence you are having in the lives of your students and their families. Keep up the good work.


“Frankie” Frazier and School Administrator Peggy Comerford.


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.
