Golden Apple Award: Lindsey White, Boynton Elementary
RINGGOLD, GA (WDEF) – Parents know that Lindsey White’s classroom is a fun learning environment. The Boynton Elementary school teacher balances effort and love to make her students the best they can be. All that earned her this week’s Golden Apple Award.
“Hello. Hi, hi everybody. On behalf of Food City and news Channel 12, I’m presenting you with the Golden Teacher Apple Award today for this week. Thank you. You’re so welcome. And also I would like to present you with this certificate and this gift card from Food City. This is great! thank y’all. Perfect.”
“Oh I just absolutely love Miss White. She was actually a student here at our school at Boynton Elementary School. And she just had the passion and desire to become a teacher. She was able to do her student teaching here. She’s done an incredible job with the students. And we were just thrilled to hire her as a teacher here,” said Jennifer Scott, Principal at Boynton Elementary.
“Y’all can keep working on the election day paper.”
“One of my biggest passions is teaching. And just being a stepping stone in a child’s life. And just helping them along the way through life. And just making a big impact is what I find great joy in. What I love about teaching is every day is different. Your way and what struggles. But also what positive things come from each day. So it’s never boring and I love um just being in my kids life. And being able to see them grow throughout the year,” said Lindsey White, 5th grade teacher at Boynton Elementary School.
“Um you go to the polls for the voting. Yes. So what do you have to make sure that you have done before you can vote?”
Emerson Harrison: “I like her cuz she explains more stuff like over. And I just like her. She’s nice to us. She helps us a lot,” said Emerson Harrison, a 5th grade student at Boynton Elementary School.
“She’s amazing. This is my first year here. And the best teacher I’ve ever had,” said Isley Baker, a 5th grade student at Boynton Elementary School.
“Miss White is a very kind teacher and she’s very respectful,” said Olivia Weber, a 5th grade student at Boynton Elementary School.
“What do you have to do after you register? Stand in a voting booth. Yes! So you go to the voting booth, you’ll give them the address. And where you live and everything.”
“Today is election day for our social studies block. We were working on an election day paper, an election day passage, and then an election day crossword. Just so they could look at some vocabulary. For our government, it’s important for kids to uh participate in social studies events, so they can know what’s going on around them. So I feel like as kids they are exposed to a lot of things through social media and everything. And we want to make sure that we are letting them know what election day is so that way they are aware of what going on.
It’s an amazing moment to be able to be inside the walls that I was taught in. So I actually was taught in this room. And then one of my co-teachers, he was my fifth grade teacher. And so seeing um his impact that he made on my life. But then also being able to um learn from him and other teachers in the building. So my third grade teacher I was able to learn and grow from her as a student teacher and so just it means a lot to grow from the people that had a lasting impact on you,” said White.
