Harriet Jarmon, a middle school vocal music teacher at Skyview Middle School, also is a Disney Teacher nominee.”I teach my students to personalize their singing – to make each song their own, Jarmon said. “I make it a habit to compliment my class as a whole every day in a positive way. I want them to know that that they are special and … can achieve anything when we all work together.””Mrs. Jarmon has a keen eye for fostering student and staff activities that enrich the relationships of everyone associated with Skyview Middle School,” said Sandy Rivera, principal at Skyview Middle School. “She is a strong leader … highly respected and well liked by staff and students.””Sixteen years ago, we started celebrating local heroes by establishing the annual Disney Teacher Awards to celebrate and honor America’s finest educators,” said Terry Wick, vice president, Disney Worldwide Outreach. “This nomination process shows thousands of teachers across the country how much their work means to their students, colleagues and communities.”The final honorees each receive $10,000, a $5,000 grant for their schools and attendance at the Walt Disney Professional Development Institute.
