The Colony Chamber Teacher of the Month | September 2022
BB Owen Elementary teacher Coby Pait was recognized by The Colony Chamber of Commerce at the Chamber's October Luncheon.
Teacher of the Month – BB Owen Elementary Special Education Teacher Coby Pait
Ms. Coby Pait is the lead teacher of the Special Education department at BB Owen Elementary. She works closely with the 5th-grade team in planning to ensure her students are getting exactly what they need for their Individualized Education Plan. She is the first person to volunteer to help her fellow coworkers, and across the entire campus knows they can depend on her for anything. Each morning, the smile on her face is contagious, and her enthusiasm shines through in her lessons and the relationships she builds with her students. According to BB Owen Elementary Principal Ms. Jennifer Barentine, all our students and staff are lucky to have her be a part of the Bobcat Family.
- In her free time, she enjoys playing in the backyard, working puzzles, and having dance parties with her two kids. She also loves to sing – it's been a bit since she was in choir at The Colony High School, but she still sings every day!
- Her favorite TV show is Friends.
- If she could meet anyone from any time, she wishes she could meet her grandmother. She’s heard some pretty incredible things about her; as a young woman she auditioned for the Metropolitan Opera, and she hosted North Carolina's first all-female radio show, where she would play her daughters' favorite songs as they were dismissed from school every day.
- Something people might not know about her is that she auditioned for the reality TV show The Glee Project when they held tryouts in Fort Worth back in the early 2010's.
- She looks up to her mom, because she is the embodiment of a strong, independent woman who sticks to her principles and is still unfailingly kind. She relies on her wisdom and sincerity and is so proud she gets to be her daughter.
