Teacher Spotlight – Cindy Bush is the special services teacher for Timpson Elementary School. She has worked for Timpson for 22 years. She said, “Watching my kids learn and grow is the best part of my job. Sometimes the smallest gains are the biggest celebrations.” Mrs. Bush has coached Academic UIL maps, graphs and charts for a number of years. She also helps take care of the Box Top program for TES which brings in additional funds for student activities and instructional supplies. She also helps with school dances, the Christmas play, the awards ceremony as well as many other projects. “A truly special teacher is very wise, and sees tomorrow in every child’s eyes” is a quote that could well apply to Mrs. Bush. She does her best to insure that each of her students will have the skills to reach any goal they set for themselves. In her classroom she works with students on their individual needs so that they can be successful. She is also quite protective of her students and often “goes to bat” for them to ensure they are treated with the respect, care and guidance that all students deserve and need to be successful. Mrs. Bush sees tomorrow in every child’s eyes and she strives to help all their tomorrows be ones of achievement, success and happiness. TES Principal Bubba Carrington said “TES was blessed when Mrs. Bush chose to accept a special education position and throughout the last 22 years she has served with distinction in various capacities for our district.” Principal Carrington went on to say that Mrs. Bush believes that education is one of the most important aspects of a person’s life and that all students are capable of learning. She also feels, as a teacher, that it is her job to instill a desire for lifelong learning as well as a desire for her students to grow as individuals. Mrs. Bush and her husband Todd have three children: Maggie, Katie and Tyler who are all Timpson High School graduates. Mrs. Bush is very active in the Timpson community and is always willing to lend a helping hand to others. She is also an active member of Good Hope Baptist Church in Timpson and is presently teaching a Bible study class for elementary students.
