Mrs. Pletcher is a great teacher that truly cares for the whole child. She supports her students in every aspect, as well as their classroom teachers.
Ms. Pletcher’s passion and dedication to her students is evident in the way she cares for them and structures her program for the support each one needs individually. In a world where everyone is stretched thin and it is easier to dismiss children with additional behavior problems, she takes the time to understand them and teach them tools for mindfulness that will help them throughout their whole life. Additionally, she has spent time teaching these skills to other educators, passing her knowledge on so other districts and students may benefit from it as well.
Laura is such a sweetheart. Always SO THOUGHTFUL, helpful, and considerate. She has such a big heart and ALWAYS brings joy and unending happiness to every event or situation she’s presented with. The world needs more Laura’s
The passion that Ms. Pletcher has for the students of her school district is unsurpassed. She not only cares about teaching the students but making a positive difference in there life. She is willing to show positivity, patience, and love to students that don’t always get those things. She is an inspiration to other teacher and the caring heart in students lives.

I no longer have children in school but I am so thankful that the school has implemented this into the school and wish this would have been an option when my children were small. Children go through all sorts of problems, especially in their home life and they do not understand how to express their struggles and in turn in my experience with my youngest spent a lot of time in trouble at school either in after school detention or in the all day detention and I said many times he’s not a bad kid he’s just going through some things and needs help and guidance and support.
I’m so thankful to know that Scott City Schools are seeing this to help better these children and their future and thank you to all for implementing this into our school.
Thank you Laura for being that special person that our children can trust and for making a difference in these kids world!
Love her! She is amazing at her job. She has made a huge difference in the students that she works with at Scott City Elem.
Ms. Pletcher and the Refocus Room has been life changing for many students. The very definition of Life Changer. Helping, encouraging, enriching, and educating students, parents, faculty and staff is what it's all about. We have that at SCE. Ms. Pletcher deserves this award! We have been blessed to have her.
Laura is a blessing to all who know her. What an amazing person to have in the position she carries at SCE.
Ms. Pletcher is devoted to enhancing the lives of her students. She oversees the refocus room to meet the needs of students during school hours, but she does not stop there. Ms. Pletcher advocates for resources that extend beyond a school day. This is to ensure the needs of her students are truly met. Like Ms. Pletcher, a LifeChanger is an individual who does not let a 7-3:30 schedule constrict their dedication to improving the lives of those around them.
Love her. She is wonderful.
I have seen Mrs. Pletcher build this program up from its beginning. She has poured so much time and dedication into learning how to best help these students. She truly makes a difference for the students she works with and for our entire elementary.

Ms. Pletcher is an amazing coworker! I know I can come to her if I’m having a problem and she’ll try to help me solve it. She has brainstormed with me over behavior interventions and helped me so much on meet the teacher night! I feel lucky to get to work with her!

Laura is my long time best friend! Her compassion for children is her life. She has always put the students first and is determined to make the classroom a fun environment. Her love for her job shines in all she does daily. She is a blessing!
Throughout her career, Laura remains a beacon of stability and leadership for the groups she supports. Using strategic skills and quick solid decision making abilities, she easily understands and accepts her role in any situation, allowing her successfully lead multiple initiatives. I truly believe her previous and current situational experience makes her an ideal candidate for the Life Changer award.
I also know Laura on a personal level and have developed tremendous respect for her based upon her devotion to friends and family, concern for the welfare of her friends and coworkers, spirituality, candor and honesty. Further, I believe that her professional counterparts and friends would echo these very sentiments, so I am pleased to share this endorsement of Laura, and would be delighted to share any further comments, should you so desire.

Laura is a very conscientious teacher who takes a special interest in everyone of her students. She earns their trust and maintains real relationships with the kids to help them be successful in school! Well deserved nomination!
Laura is an inspiration to her students. I’ve seen the prep that she puts into her classroom at the beginning of the year. She creates a peaceful sanctuary for them. She knows that they may be coming from a less than ideal home situation. Laura wants their time in her classroom to be a positive experience.
I’ve known Laura for years and this is 100% her passion! She is so deserving of this award!!!
Ms Pletcher was my daughter's teacher. The way my daughter would be excited to go to school really was a sign of a great learning environment. She is firm, but kind allowing kids to ex excel in her classroom. She deserves to be recognized for her excellent work.
Ms Pletcher goes above and beyond. She always has a smile on her face no matter what
It is so helpful for our students to have a safe place to go! I have seen a real improvement in our students since this program began!
Ms. Pletcher is the Behavior Interventionist at SCE and has been instrumental in creating our Refocus Room, which is a tier II support system for students identified as needing more intense intervention. She is a true LifeChanger at SCE. There is a popular saying "when a flower doesn't bloom you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.". This is so true at Scott City Elementary. We have a strong team of educational leaders. We are being intentional in our actions and putting systems in place where all students can thrive and be successful. At SCE, we do what's best for kids. Ms. Pletcher is just one of many fearless leaders at SCE, but she is so deserving of the LifeChanger of the Year Award. She is leading the charge in creating a strong foundation in both tier II and tier III supports for students that need more intensive intervention. She is currently helping to create our Ram Academy which is a tier III intervention for students with behavior and mental health challenges. I have seen children that were broken and feeling helpless transform into a more confident happy child. That is why we do what we do. Ms. Laura Pletcher is a fearless leader and I am honored to work along side of her. I can't think of anyone more deserving than Ms. Laura Pletcher for the LifeChanger of the Year Award. #LCOY
Ms. Laura was my kindergarten and first grade teacher, and I'm so glad it was her, she was an amazing teacher and showed kindness everyday. I'll really miss her when I graduate!
