Congratulations Taylor Hall for being the Certified Employee of the Month for October. She is a Math Teacher at RSMS. Taylor was born and raised here in Twin Falls. She chose her career because she has always loved to help people learn new things. She loves seeing students get that “lightbulb” moment in math. The best word she feels to describe her is “genuine” and she would like to be remembered as a teacher that cared about her students. Her best day on the job is the last day of school because it is when she gets to see all her former students and talk to them. She often doesn't see former students in the halls, so she loves seeing them and hearing about their lives and listening to the 8th graders talk about how excited they are to go to high school. She always gets a little emotional thinking about all the growth they have done in the short time she has known them. She draws her inspiration from Mrs. Blank, her elementary school teacher from 5th and 6th grade. Mrs. Blank was an amazing teacher, and Taylor still remembers how much she cared about her students. Something not many people know about Taylor is that she has played the violin for 16 years. Her favorite hobby is crocheting . One thing she would like to do is go to a sky lantern festival. Principal Note: First and foremost, Taylor is an outstanding teacher! She creates a warm and accepting culture of learning within her classroom, while holding students to high standards of achievement. Both as a teacher and as a colleague, she connects with people easily. She builds strong relationships with her students and uses that to encourage students to strive to be their best. She models her high expectations of conduct in all of her tasks. With her peers, she is highly respected. She is a natural leader and colleagues often seek her input. We have been blessed to have Taylor as a part of our RSMS family for the last year!
