Mrs. Meyer's class has a special message for Apollo Families!


Congratulations Sarah Mater, Kindergarten Teacher at Apollo Elementary School, for receiving the District Attitude Award!
Her nominator wrote, “Sarah Mater is the definition of a teacher who goes above and beyond in her classroom to provide the most impactful, enriching, and positive learning environment for her students. Do you hear those people talk about that one teacher they will never forget? I personally know that will be the case for my daughter.
As a teacher, I know what's expected of us, and she goes above and beyond daily. My daughter has excelled in her class with reading, math and beyond because of Ms. Mater's instructional design. Whatever student has the opportunity to be in her class will be impacted positively for life. She is an invaluable asset for Goddard USD #265!”
