Fourth-grade teacher Sabina Malouff was chosen as Monte Vista School District’s Teacher of the Year and was recognized at the district’s school board meeting. Before presenting Malouff with the certificate, Superintendent Scott Wiedeman read a letter outlining some of the many reasons Malouff was chosen. Part of the letter read, ‘Sabina is a teacher who exemplifies what it means to be a teacher. And has been able to reach and help students grow by differentiating instruction for them no matter what point, no matter what background they come from.’
