For January, Ms. Dawn was recognized by the Rock Island Regional Office of Education (RIROE) for the Employee of the Month Award at the East Moline Early Learning Center. Ms. Edwards (now Ms. Webster) joined our School Family in the fall of 2023. After a diverse career teaching in other districts and grade levels, Ms. Dawn has brought a renewed sense of literacy, passion, and intentionality to our early childhood programming. She has a limitless repertoire of tools, strategies, and materials that she incorporates into her instructional practices, thinking “outside the box” to ensure learning for ALL students. She is reflective, creative, and collaborative with her colleagues. Relationships are important to her, and she works hard to build partnerships with families. We appreciate you, Ms. Webster! #growingthroughplay #EMSD37Pride
