Music that Describes Lindsay
Lindsay Judd was nominated by a friend, Landon Thomas.
Mrs. Judd truly is an angel on Earth. She can make anyone's day just by being herself. She's very polite, intelligent, creative, supportive, positive, hilarious, and so much more.
Before she became a third grade teacher at Westfall Elementary, Mrs. Judd worked as a second grade teacher at Pleasant Hill Elementary. She had a certain kind of optimism and confidence that made her an instant classic with her students and colleagues. Her class was jungle-themed, with the name being, "Mrs. Judd's Jungle Cats." She would often create and direct fun, interactive lessons for her students. For instance, in order to help her students review their class skills, Mrs. Judd would lead an activity known as "The Morning Work Game Show", where she would dress up as a game show host and her students would participate as contestants on her show. For the "Tornado Unit", her students would create news reports and pretend to be meteorologists, where they also learned about maps, cardinal directions, and water ways. Because of her creative spirit, many students in her class have wanted to become teachers just like her.
In addition to be a second grade teacher, Mrs. Judd also served as the head Botball Coach for Pleasant Hill Elementary. She encouraged and enriched the students selected for the team, leading them to want to further their knowledge of Botball all the way through college.
"I served as an assistant coach for the team, and I have to say that Lindsay never missed a beat with those kids. They look up to her, and so do I," said Thomas. "Lindsay has taken her teaching talents to Westfall Elementary, and she is continuing to enlighten students with her fun, creative skills and spirit. I know that each and every person at Westfall loves having her as a new colleague and teacher."
