Rebecca (Beckie) Makowski is starting her 9th year of teaching. She teaches kindergarten at Jay Shideler Elementary School and loves building a positive education foundation for her students.

Her nomination letter read as follows:

“Best Quaran-teacher ever!

 Mrs. Rebecca Makowski is the best teacher we could have ever hoped for during the pandemic and school shut down. She is a kindergarten teacher at Jay Shideler Elementary and truly went out of her way, above and beyond to make sure that her students and even the families were taken care of. We could not have asked for more from her. Her efforts saved my sanity during these last few months of school. I always knew I could rely on her and my son was uplifted being able to routinely but virtually see her and his other classmates”
