The ‘Hood Magazine Teacher of the Year was announced this morning on the KSFY Morning. Publisher and President of the magazine, Steffanie Liston-Holtrop stopped by the studio to make the announcement that Mrs. Tonda Kirton was the winner.
Mrs. Kirton was nominated by her student Macy Rott. Macy is a 5th grader at Journey Elementary in the Harrisburg school district.
This is the first year that ‘Hood Magazine launched this recognition.

The finalists were selected based on the following criteria: inspiration to students, non-traditional ways of teaching and involvement in activities throughout the school.
