Kerry Foote was nominated by her colleague, Lindsay Frevert.
Ms. Foote has been a LifeChanger every year that she has been an educator. Her passion and love for her students and colleagues is evident and contagious. Everyone wants to be better educators because of the drive and effort she brings each and every day.
Ms. Foote is an innovative leader because she finds new ways of teaching, and is constantly creating a classroom environment that is welcoming to every student.
"When you walk into Kerry’s room, you feel such a positive energy," Frevert said. "Her students have the opportunity to have a variety of ways to sit and learn. There are pillows, laundry baskets, desk pedals, saucer seats, etc. for students to utilize while they work."
Flexible seating is a big part of Ms. Foote's classroom, and students determine how they work best and decide how they will sit or even stand. This allows students to have their own learning independence.
Ms. Foote has students learning in several different ways. They are on computers, in small groups, writing in sand, using QR codes, or videoing themselves on iPads practicing fluency. During different holidays, students are seen using Frankenstein fingers while reading, or special holiday glasses while editing. Students have also dressed up in a doctor’s outfit when dissecting words. Her creativity is truly incredible, and the students love it. This past year, Ms. Foote had a special event in her room when she opened up her library. The students were so excited to be able to go book shopping, and the principal, school librarian, and even school mascot came. This little event was very special to her students. Students have a variety of different needs when they enter Ms. Foote's room, and she does all that she can to ensure their needs are met.
Ms. Foote is not only a leader in the classroom, but within the district as well. She is a part of many committees in her school district. She has helped run the Winter Literacy Night, as well as the Read Across America Event. These events have run flawlessly because Ms. Foote has put the time in beforehand to set everything up. Whenever she runs an event, it is run perfectly because of her commitment. Ms. Foote is also on the SunFISH Committee, which does various activities for the staff. She is always willing to assist with making cupcakes or bringing in treats for the staff. She is of great assistance during the staff Holiday Party, always bringing fun games to the table. Ms. Foote has also shared her expertise by presenting various Professional Development workshops for the teachers of our district.
Ms. Foote is always willing to do whatever needs to be done. If there are flyers that need to be typed up, she is willing to do it. If stamina charts or reading logs need to be done, she is there to do them. The curriculum has been revised, and Ms. Foote has been assisting where she can. She has provided activities and centers to assist teachers with the implementation of the curriculum.Ms. Foote is phenomenal with making center activities, and is always willing to make centers for any grade that asks. Whatever she makes, she shares. She is currently on maternity leave, but is still sending emails with various activities for every grade to use. Her own team is constantly receiving emails of something that she put together.
Ms. Foote is a natural teacher. She is a role model, not only to her students, but the staff as well. Ms. Foote is always trying to find ways to remind her students and her colleagues how awesome they are. She always has Halloween costumes for students just in case they may not have one. One way that she has shown her commitment to her students was with what she did a few years ago, when one of her students was diagnosed with ALD. She was the one who met with the parents to voice the concerns she saw within the classroom. Because of her communication with the parents, they were able to find out what was wrong. Her student was sent to Minnesota for a bone marrow transplant. She and Frevert knew exactly what they needed to do—visit him there. It was the greatest experience, not only for her student, but for his parents as well. After Ms. Foote's student came back, they also tutored him at home and have become permanent members of their family. Ms. Foote continues to stay in contact with her students after they have left her room. She wants them to know that she is always there to support them.
"There is no one that is more deserving of this award," Frevert said. "I am lucky to not only have Kerry as a colleague but as a friend as well. This is truly an award made for Kerry."

Thanks, Kerry.
Kerry is a warm, vibrant individual. She is an excellent role model and thrives to instill the love of learning in all of her students.
I can say with great confidence that Kerry Foote is well deserving of this award.
Kerry Foote is so deserving of this award. She is always creating new and innovative ways to help her students learn and she always shares! After spending countless hours creating new centers for her classroom, Kerry enthusiastically sends an email to the staff explaining and sharing new and creatives way to teach students. It is not unusual to get several emails throughout the week from Kerry sharing resources that will motivate students.
Having worked alongside Kerry during our before school Gifted and Talented program, I got so much motivation and energy from her. She is truly a Life Changer. She has not only changed the lives of her students, but also the lives of everyone she comes in contact with. She has the best personality and her energy and passion is contagious. She is the kind of person that you get motivation from just because you are around her!
Mrs. Foote is an amazing, dedicated teacher. She goes above and beyond for the success of every student that enters her classroom, and even many who are not even listed on her official roster but are still a part of Mrs. Foote’s broader “classroom.” Our world is a better place because of fantastic teachers like Mrs. Foote!
Kerry loves what she does and it shows through everything she does for everyone.
Kerry is lovely girl that comes from a beautiful, learned family, so it doesn’t surprise me that she has been nominated for such a wonderful award! I’m sure her intelligence and bright energy will encourage her students to learn, learn, learn!
Kerry is the kind of teacher her students will remember forever!
Kerry has been such a role model to me since the first day I started teaching, 5 years ago. She was so welcoming and willing to help me come up with ideas for my students from the day I met her. Her flexible classroom seating inspired me to try it in my own classroom and my students love it! She is constantly sharing center ideas with my kindergarten team and she doesn't even teach kindergarten. Her creativity and passion is something I continue to strive for and I feel lucky to work alongside her.
Kerry is beyond deserving of this award. I'm fortunate enough to work alongside her on our first grade team. She is constantly sharing resources, lending a hand, and coming up with creative ideas. She has such a contagious enthusiasm for every lesson she's teaching, committee she's running, or new school initiative she's heading. She goes above and beyond in every aspect of teaching. We are so lucky to have her at VDV!
Kerry has more energy than anyone I know. Not only does she work to better her own students but she is there for any student or staff member to better themselves. There have been many times when I have received and email on a Saturday or Sunday pertaining to materials, or lessons that I could use to work with my students. Since I am a special services professional, It touches me to see how much she is motivated and willing to share information and lookout for her colleges no matter what their specialty.
Kerry follows in the tradition of her family of educators. She has internalized the skills and devotion that define wonderful teachers. As are her parents and her twin, Courtney, Kerry exemplifies the best in education. So proud to have witnessed her development as an outstanding teacher!
I had the honor of working with Kerry for several years. She is a staff member who is a problem solver and she does it in creative ways! She understands that teaching is much more than the curriculum.
Kerry loves what she does and it shows through all of her work!
Kerry is the best!! Very deserving!
Kerry is so deserving of this award! She is truly amazing!
Kerry most definitely deserves this honor!
Kerry is an inspiration! She has the drive, determination, and passion that help her be one of the best teachers and leaders out there. Her creativity is mind-blowing and I wish that I had the privilege of having Mrs. Foote as my teacher!
Kerry is so caring and loves her students. I think she is deserving of this award
Ms Kerry Foote is an amazing innovative teacher. Her caring for students is well known and she is a true mentor of all. No matter what skill set a student begins with, Kerry makes them soar. This award is truly deserved by Kerry.
Kerry is a lifelong friend and a great role model. I agree that she deserves this award!
Kerry is a bright shining light to all of us who are so lucky to know her. She brings love and caring to her students and colleagues with her positive can-do attitude and her creativity. She is so deserving of this award. Our school community has has been missing her sparkle while she has been out on leave. She helps make all of us strive for our very best, both students and staff.
Kerry Foote is the absolute perfect recipient of this award. She is constantly going above and beyond to meet the needs of her students and school community. Kerry is a role-model amongst her peers. She proves to be an endless source of encouragement, advice, and ideas. She is always creating materials and resources to share with her coworkers. Kerry is loved by each of her students. As her twin sister, I get stopped almost daily asking if I am “Mrs. Foote”. When I tell them that I am her sister, their face lights up and they ask, “Can you tell her I said, ‘Hi!’” She has become a role model in the community and continues to touch the lives of all she comes in contact with. Kerry Foote deserves this award!!
Kerry is absolutely the most deserving of this!!!!! She Rocks!
We are SO lucky to have Kerry at our school- all of our teachers are constantly working hard to make sure our kids are able to do their best. I am so thankful to live in Somerville and have my kids interact with amazing people like Kerry, Lindsay, and the rest of the faculty. They go above and beyond ??
Kerry is amazing! She volunteered her personal time to raise funds for a new playground for the vdv school!
In reading the award description, I can wholeheartedly say that Kerry fully embodies the ideals of the Life Changer of the Year Award! Kerry gets to know each and every student individually, works with their abilities and encourages them to achieve all that they possibly can. Few parents can say this, but I can honestly say that Kerry has not only changed, but SAVED my son's life!
When Kerry had my son 5 years ago in her 3rd grade class, she noticed that he had some inconsistencies in focus and behavior which eventually led to him being diagnosed with advanced stages of a metabolic disease called adrenoleukodystrophy; a disease in his brain which required two bone marrow transplants to save his life. Looking back, the symptoms were present for several years prior, but the symptoms often present themselves similar to typical learning disabilities like ADHD and other focus-related behaviors. However, Kerry knew my son well enough to notice that these problems were more than a learning disability or unruly behavior. Something was very wrong. It was her observations and actions that let to his diagnosis, and had it not been for her pursuing it farther and working along with us to determine the cause, my son would not be alive today.
Since that time frame, Kerry has continued to go above and beyond with my son and support his accomplishments in so many ways. While undergoing his transplants, she came all of the way from New Jersey out to visit him in the hospital in Minnesota. She brought such sunshine to our entire family during a very difficult time, and while she continues to remain very close to us, she brings him cheer as he works through depression and makes him feel special as he has learned to adapt to his many disabilities that have resulted from his illness.
Kerry's contagious enthusiasm and positive energy impacts everyone with whom she comes in contact. Whether within the classroom or out among everyday life, she is the type of teacher that the world could use many more of!
As an educator for 50 years with experience primarily in grades 1-3, I can tell you that Kerry Foote is a gifted teacher. What impresses me the most is the level of creativity that she pours into her classroom to meet the diverse learning needs of students just starting out. That creativity requires an immense amount of work, because of her desire to accommodate as best as possible each student. She blends her imaginative approach to teaching with a firm grasp of establishing good learning habits and classroom behavior, which I have found to be essential for a child's success. In addition. Kerry is recognized by her peers as a problem solver, an innovator, and a source of support. Last year she was recognized as Teacher of the Year, as well as one of the Teachers who make magic by a local radio station. VDV School is blessed to have Kerry Foote on staff as a superb teacher, great role model for new and veteran teachers, and a young woman who exudes kindness and commitment to all in whom she comes in contact.
Kerry truly deserves to be chosen for Lifechanger of the Year. Truly a dedicated teacher!
Well-deserved for a very dedicated teacher.
Kerry is an amazing teacher. She is dedicated, caring and fun. My son had her as a 1st grade teacher. She made such an impact on him. He always spoke of her as his favorite. In 2nd grade, I hired her as a tutor to help my son with his learning difficulties. She was so creative in her approach with him and he was thriving with her guidance.I could not pick a more deserving teacher.
Kerry always has a smile on her face. She is a very inspiring and energetic educator, always ready to help her students and colleagues find success. Congratulations!
Kerry truly deserves this recognition and this award. She is dedicated, creative, and innovative... a consummate professional.
You deserve this award 100%. I wish I had just 1 oz of the passion you have as a teacher! Congratulations!
Kerry Foote is the perfect recipient for this award. She is hard working, dedicated, motivated, and compassionate. Kerry embodies all of the qualities of a role model. She is an incredible teacher who has become a leader in and out of her classroom. Not only do her students look up to her, but her peers as well.
No one is more deserving than Kerry for this award. I have worked along side her as a third grade teacher, cheered for her when she won teacher of the year for our district, cried with her when a student was suffering and laughed with her during a school sponsored event. Kerry's motivation is child centered and driven. She spends hours preparing the coolest lessons, furnishing her flexible classroom or baking for her colleagues. Kerry is certainly most deserving of this award. She is our life changer!!!!
I am constantly impressed by Kerry! She is an outstanding teacher, colleague, and person! She is creative, innovative, and hardworking. Kerry is constantly creating and sharing resources with her colleagues and encouraging others. I feel lucky to work with her!
Kerry is an awesome teacher and person. She is most deserving of this award!
Kerry’s tireless commitment to the students and staff of VanDerveer School is nothing short of amazing! She is dedicated to providing a meaningful learning experience for each and every student, whether they are in her homeroom or not. Kerry comes in early, stays late, and works at home to ensure that her lessons are tailored to the needs of all of her students. She never hesitates to share her knowledge with other staff members. Kerry also shares her professional expertise with the world through her blog and store on Teachers Pay Teachers, where she shares the materials she creates with educators everywhere. She is a life-changer not only to the staff and students of VanDerveer School, but to all educators and their students who can learn from the ideas she shares. She definitely deserves this award!
Kerry puts her heart and soul into everything she sets out to accomplish. She is an amazing and kindhearted teacher and so deserving of this award!
Children learn in a multitude of ways. Kerry recognizes this to the advantage of her students. She is deserving of this award.
Kerry truly deserves this award. She is not only an amazing teacher but her positive spirit and creativity that she shares with her colleagues is inspiring. We are lucky to have Kerry on our team!
I had the honor of working with Kerry Foote when she joined the Third Grade team. From the very start, Kerry has demonstrated she is truly a Master Teacher. During her time as a third grade teacher, Kerry also served as an NJASK tutor, and played a pivotal role in developing a curriculum for a piloted after-school homework club. Kerry is extremely knowledgeable of the curriculum and expectations at each grade level. And as mentioned by so many others, she motivates her colleagues to stay creative and to keep learning fun! Aside from being a tremendous support to her colleagues and school community, her number one priority has always been her students. She encourages them, supports them and advocates for them. Kerry Foote is very deserving of the Life Changer of the Year Award!
Kerry is very deserving of this nomination and award! She’s a wonderful teacher.

Kerry is a natural educator. She connects with every child and makes a positive difference in their life. She is an invaluable asset to the entire school community, positively impacting colleagues, parents and everyone she encounters. She shines a beacon of joy wherever she goes!
I can't think of a more deserving person for this award than Kerry Foote. Her tirelessness and generosity are well-known in the halls of VDV. She's always there to share a smile, a kind word, a teaching resource, a brilliant idea or a chance to volunteer. I've never met anyone with her enthusiasm for teaching or zest for life, the impacts of which are far-reaching. I find myself marveling at her energy as well as her ability to inspire students and colleagues alike. To say she goes above and beyond for her school community would be an epic understatement!
Kerry is an amazing teacher!

Ms. Foote is certainly deserving of the honor.
I had the honor of co-teaching science/social studies with Kerry Foote during what I considered an extremely tricky year for myself. She made me smile when call I wanted to do was cry. She inspired me to be a better educator, when I was ready to give up. Her positive energy and can-do spirit are contagious, both in her students and in her colleagues. I agree with all the other comments, this award was made for her.
What a great honor to be nominated for this award. Kerry truly deserves this recognition. She puts her heart into everything she does, not only in school but in her community as well.
I have known Kerry for years and there is no one I can think of more deserving of this award than Kerry. From the time she gets up to the time she goes to bed, her focus is putting someone else before herself. Whether that is her new daughter, one of her students, a friend or family member, she does all that she can to make their day better, regardless of the cost to her. She is selfless, considerate, caring, loving and hilarious - a potent combination of skills for a true Life Changer!
Good for you, Kerry. You are an amazing educator!
Kerry is an inclusive and inspiring teacher and VDV is so lucky to have her. Her students thrive academically and socially and she is an important part of the community at the school. Thank you for considering her for this award!!
Well done Kerry. As an OT , I think you seem to have nailed the classroom needs of young children!!!
My two daughters have been lucky enough to have had AMAZING teachers at VDV! They have not, however, had Ms Foote for homeroom but have spent time in her classroom. A lot can be said about a FIRST grader coming home and talking about the small part of the day that was spent in Ms. Foote's classroom. I can only hope that my son has her for his 1st grade teacher!
I have watched Kerry grow up as a prior teacher of hers in elementary school. It is rewarding to see her building strong bonds with her students that go beyond the classroom. Congratulations on this honor! Keep being you Kerry because you are terrific!
I've known Kerry Foote her entire life. She is a very kind, caring and loving person. Kerry goes out of her way to support her students, friends and family. She is truly deserving of this award.

Kerry's dedication and enthusiasm are contagious not just to the students she inspires but to her colleagues who she supports, cares for, and shares with! She is very deserving of this award!
Mrs. Foot was my son's pre-school teacher assistant 8 years ago. He loved her and was devastated when she left to go to VDV Elementary. My son is in the spectrum and she was amazing with him. A total gift! She is beautiful inside and out.
??
She is VERY deserving. ??
Kerry is all this and more. She is always upbeat and encouraging. She gives so much of herself each and every day to her students and colleagues. She is so deserving of this award!!
Ms. Foote is the definition of the word lifechanger! She is an outstanding individual, teacher, leader and colleague.

Thank you for all you have done and continue to do, Ms. Foote!
Kerry is so deserving of this award. She is a dedicated teacher who wars the best for her students. Please choose her for LifeChanger of the year.
I had the pleasure of working with Kerry for many years. She is an energetic, innovative and compassionate teacher. She is very deserving of this nomination.
Kerry has been an incredible leader since we first met her when she was in high school. We parents lovingly named her, and her sister Courtney, as the Social Directors. Kerry is compassionate, intuitive, and infectious with her loving and gregarious personality. I can't imagine anyone more deserving of this award.

Well said! Kerry is always inspiring the teachers and students she works with. She always goes above and beyond to help out and to make learning fun.
Kerry is a natural born leader. She is a bright light, positive and creative! Any student would be lucky to have her.
We have known Kerry since she was a teenager and what a special person she is. This is not only an honor but a true testament to the person she is. God bless her!
To see Kerry as a teacher is to see someone so completely in their element - the role they were meant to play in life that then impacts the lives of all of those around her.
She looks at her students as an extension of her family - helping them in their education but also in their understanding of life [how to show empathy, kindness]. She goes above and beyond in everything she does - buying Halloween costumes for kids who can't afford, organizing support for her fellow teachers, working the extra hours needed to perfect her lessons.
The good she has done so far in her career will only be surpassed in the years ahead.
Not only is Kerry an amazing teacher, she is such a role model for younger women like me. She shows her passion in many ways from family, to teaching, to asking me how I am. She’s the best!
I think Kerry is deserving
Kerry is beyond amazing! Her students are so blessed to have her as their teacher! She absolutely deserves this award! I am thrilled and not at all surprised to see the hard-working third-grader that I knew grow up to be such an outstanding life-changing teacher!!!
As her sister, you might say I am bias, but I am constantly amazed by Kerry's commitment, students and school. She is dedicated to not only their education, but helping them out in any way they need. She never stops. When my 5 year olds were struggling with learning money at school, Kerry designed worksheets that would help reinforce the lesson at home. Always, always above and beyond.
I would love for my kids to have a teacher like her. So important and so rare to find- a kind dedicated heart!
I think Kerry is very deserving of this award!! I have been teaching first grade for 13 years and I actually learn from Kerry! She's creative, kind and caring! So excited for you, Kerry!!
What a teacher! Well deserved Kerry.
We need more Kerrys in this world.
Kerry is an exceptional person who teaches to the individual needs and strength of each of her students. She is creative, dynamic and generous with her students and within her classroom! She is definitely a life changer to each student lucky enough to be in her classroom!
I am so proud to see Kerry nominated for this award. She truly has a great heart and it shows with both her students and colleagues. She is always there to lend a helping hand and share resources with the staff at school. I can not think of a person more deserving of this nomination!
What impressed me the most about Kerry Foote was when her ALD student was hospitalized in Minnesota, she and her colleague flew out to visit him and his family. They produced a music montage on the young boy's journey, which the hospital shared with others. Her creativity and instinctive ability to reach children are evidence of her gift as a teacher. Every student whom she has touched in the classroom, the lunchroon, the bus line, summer school, gifted and talented student program, before school tutoring is better, because of Mrs. Foote.

Kerry I am so proud to know you right now! You deserve this award hands down! Congratulations on your nomination, and I know we will continue to see you making a difference in the lives of everyone you touch. :)
I think Kerry is deserving of this award!
What helps to separate Kerry Foote from others is her love for what she does and for those for whom she does it. First and foremost are her children and their needs---from helping them master a skill to even making sure they have warm clothes to wear in the winter.
Kerry is the type of teacher I would want for my two sons. Her intelligence, high expectations of success, creativity, and passion for teaching will make a positive difference in the lives of her students. As a mother, there is nothing else I could wish for in a teacher.
Ms. Frevert could not have described Kerry in a better way! This award is definitely made for her. I am also lucky enough to teach beside her on the first grade team. The amount of thoughtfulness Kerry displays toward her students and fellow colleagues definitely makes a difference in all our lives everyday. She is constantly planning fun innovative lessons as well as creating resources to share with others. I am so lucky to work along side her!
