Kate Vanpelt was nominated by an anonymous student.

Mrs. Vanpelt makes a great difference in the lives of her students. She spends her free time finding ways to help students learn. Mrs. Vanpelt is the leader of the Kindness Club at NPMS, and she makes sure students spread kindness to others every day. Mrs. Vanpelt leads kids to become smarter and kinder every day. She has been a teacher for many years, and many students say they love her as their teacher. Mrs. Vanpelt is so committed that several times a semester, she'll go home and cut out hundreds of laminated study cards so her students could do review activities before taking tests. This takes her several hours to do each night she chooses to do it. Mrs. Vanpelt wants her students to improve and be happy. She makes that happen by rewarding students when they improve in their test scores. She is an amazing teacher, overall!

Kate is one of the kindest humans I have ever met. She treats everyone with care & respect. I am lucky to call her my friend.
