Staff Spotlight – Mrs. Maureen Hunt works in the Timpson Elementary PAL reading lab. She works with individual and small groups on their reading skills. She has worked at Timpson ISD for a total of 18 years including this year. Her goal is for students to be on grade level or above in their reading skills but the most important thing is for them to make progress and develop self-confidence and to feel good about themselves. She first worked with Mrs. Gladys Simon in the math lab. Mrs. Hunt said Mrs. Simon was a true mentor to her. Not only did she learn teaching skills from Mrs. Simon but she also learned the importance of building relationships with students. Mrs. Hunt is an example of the saying “children don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”. Mrs. Hunt gets to know each student on a personal level, speaks to them in the hall, encourages and supports them. She always displays kindness, encouragement and support when working with her students. This kind of attitude makes students look forward to coming to the lab and being ready to learn. She credits Mrs. Cindy Simmons with helping her become a better teacher and showing her skills that Mrs. Hunt has been able to successfully use with her students. Mrs. Hunt says the favorite part of her job is working with children. She says she wakes up each morning and looks forward to coming to school to see the children and work with them. Teaching is a job she truly loves and brings her much satisfaction. She looks at her job as a service to the children of our community. Mrs. Hunt is married to Dannie Hunt and they have an adult son Joseph that is a THS graduate. Mr. and Mrs. Hunt are also the proud grandparents of Sawyer. Mrs. Hunt we appreciate the love, care and support you show the students and for all you teach them.

Staff Spotlight – Mrs. Kay Fodge works in the Timpson Elementary School PAL reading lab. This is her twentieth year working at TISD. She works with individual and small groups of students to assist them in mastering reading skills. She uses a variety of methods to help students master phonics, reading comprehension and vocabulary skills. Mrs. Fodge also believes it is important to build confidence in her students so she provides encouragement and support along with her teaching. She encourages her students to do their best. Mrs. Fodge’s goal is to help all of her students make progress. The favorite part of her job is being able to work with all grade levels. She also enjoys getting to know her students on a personal level and watching them grow in self-confidence as they make progress in their reading skills. Mrs. Fodge is married to Mike Fodge, a pastor, and together they adopted and raised their three granddaughters who went to school in Timpson. Mrs. Fodge said her job helped she and her husband raise their granddaughters. She firmly believes God gave her this job after being a housewife for 30 years before working at Timpson Elementary. Her only regret is that she did not start working 10 years earlier. She credits the staff she works with including her former principal Ken Campbell, Tammy Sparks and Cindy Simmons for helping her develop her teaching skills and for everyone’s support and kindness with her granddaughters. Mrs. Fodge takes her job very seriously because she knows students must have good reading skills to be successful in school, college and the workforce. Thank you Mrs. Fodge for all you do for the students of Timpson Elementary School.
