 When
you walk into the third grade classroom at
Naples Magnet School you may see students hard
at work at their desks while their teacher walks
around the room supervising their work and
offering instruction.
You may see students at
learning stations, at computers, playing
educational games, reading in a comfy chair, or
seated with the teacher getting extra help on an
assignment.
You are sure to see a loving smile
and hear words of encouragement from their
teacher, Mrs. Reenie Doolin.
“She is nice and kind of funny,” according to
Nickolas Stephens, one of Mrs. Doolin’s third
grade students. “I think she cares a lot about
me ... about our whole class really.”
The accolades have earned Naples Elementary
teacher Mrs. Reenie Doolin the honor of being
named Boundary County School District 101's
January classified employee of the month.
"Mrs. Doolin is always encouraging and
celebrating her students," wrote Naples
Elementary principal Jim Nash in making the nomination. "As
they learn new skills and perfect old ones, she
is their biggest cheerleader. She is always
telling her students how proud she is of them,
but even more importantly teaches them to take
pride in themselves and their accomplishments."
“She is a really nice, excellent teacher and
helps students learn a lot about language and
reading. She is really fun and I will be sad
when she retires,” says fourth grade student
Maureen Wardle.
Mrs. Doolin is retiring at the end of this
school year after teaching for 34 years in
Washington and Idaho.
As a child she went to Naples School, and she
grew up to teach there alonside her mother,
Donella Kramer.
Students are not the only ones who will miss
her.
“Reenie’s bubbly personality is both fun and
efficient,” said first grade teacher Karen
Lemely. |
