We’re highlighting a teacher every Wednesday as a part of the #RedForEd campaign.

Every year is a great year to celebrate our teachers, but this year has shined a bright light on the flexibility and compassion of our incredible staff.

Today we’re highlighting Mrs. Mary Alice DeWitt, a second grade teacher at Sugar Grove Elementary School.

What motivates you?
I am motivated by my students’ excitement as they learn. Looking back over the year at their growth is very satisfying.

How has your job changed due to COVID?
The most difficult part of teaching during COVID has been refraining from contact with the children.  I am a teacher who loves to give hugs, high fives, fist bumps, and pats on the back.  Trying to do it all in the air has been an adjustment.

What is something that people don’t understand about your job?
I don’t think that people realize how much my students are always on my mind and in my heart.  Every night, I fall asleep thinking of them.

Why do you love VCSC/your school?
Sugar Grove is a fantastic place to teach because the staff here has a huge commitment to our students, and to each other.  We are a diverse family that supports everyone.

Be sure to check back on #Staffurday–Saturday, that is–as we recognize members of our non-teaching staff. We’ll continue both campaigns through the end of the school year.

Every Saturday, we highlight a non-teaching staff member on our Facebook and Twitter (@vcsc_teamvigo) account, turning Saturday into #Staffurday to introduce you to some of the people who make school happen!

Every year is a great year to celebrate our staff, but this year has shined a bright light on the flexibility and compassion of our incredible staff.

Today, meet Cindy Godar, an educational assistant at Sugar Grove Elementary School.

What motivates you?
Being able to offer support and encouragement to students and teachers so that we can create a positive environment for everyone is what motivates me.

How has your job changed due to COVID?
Staffing needs change frequently now due to COVID. Flexibility and a willingness to step outside my comfort zone have been key.

What is something that people don’t understand about your job?
The secret to success is developing a trusting relationship with the students. When students know you are on their side, the challenges are easier to overcome.

Why do you love VCSC/your school?
Sugar Grove has the best PTO!  They go out of their way to boost our school spirit and make us all feel appreciated and loved.

Be sure to check back on Wednesday as we highlight another teacher for #RedforEd Wednesday! We’ll continue both campaigns through the end of the school year.
