Dionne Blair teaches third through fifth grade resources at Jerry Lee Fayne Elementary School. Shes been teaching for seven years and says she loves her job because of the impact she has on her students. "When I teach everyday I come with the focus of what I want to instruct my students, to empower them and impact lives so not only focus on their disabilities and weaknesses but know that whatever they set their mind to, they can do it" says Blair. This isnt the first award she has received for teaching. She is currently recognized as "Teacher of the Year" for the school, which is voted on by the student body.
