Marcia Krug, Kindergarten Teacher, PS 144 Col Jeromus Remsen

Mrs. Krug strikes the perfect balance between positive encouragement and expectations. She's patient, upbeat, encouraging and positive but at the same time, does not let kids off the hook: there are still expectations they need to meet. She also goes beyond the requirements of what she must do as a teacher, into thinking about what each child needs to succeed in school and life. She's just one of those teachers you wish your child could have every year. She definitely deserves a big thank you for caring enough not just about her profession but also about children in general, the bigger picture.
