My name is Rasheeda Christmas and I am from Philadelphia, PA. I began my teaching career at Love T. Nolan in the summer of 2005 as an intern. I am truly honored and humbled for my colleagues to able to see the transformation from intern to Teacher of the Year. I believe that students will rise up to any expectations we set for them, so set them high! I base my relationships with my students on the quote “Students will care what you teach when you teach them that you care”. It is my pleasure to represent Love T. Nolan as Teacher of the Year for 2010.
