Teacher of the Month – Katie Delamarter
Forest Vista Elementary Librarian and Media Specialist Katie Delamarter was given the challenge to help the campus become better at using online books to read for elementary students. Not only did she master that challenge, but she has significantly increased eBook reading across the entire school. This year, she was a recipient of a Lewisville ISD Education Foundation Grant where she used the funds for a creative space in the library. She also coordinates the student morning announcements and is one of the school’s Facebook editors. In addition to leading engaging library literature lessons with students every day, she has launched a lunch book club for 5th graders called The Literacy Lunch Bunch. She is also sponsoring six different authors to virtually connect with students to celebrate World Read Aloud Day.
