Congratulations to Kris Mast, recipient of K105.3’s $1,053 grant for classroom supplies! Kris was nominated in K105.3’s Tag-A-Teacher grant contest, where listeners of the station were encouraged to write in and nominate their favorite Jackson-area teacher for a chance to win. See the reveal here:
Here’s what some people are saying about Mrs. Mast:
Mrs. Mast goes above and beyond to help not only educate her students but also shows genuine love and support for each little one. Each school year, she brings in supplies she has bought with her own money so no child is left out with brand new things to start the year off great, along with purchasing special gifts for every student’s birthday, prizes, and end-of-year celebrations, which can take a huge lump out of a teacher’s salary when you have full classes. But no matter how much she spends of her own money, she does it out of the kindness of her heart to bring joy to her students.
Mrs Mast is an amazing teacher. She has been teaching for many years. She had both my children one for 2nd and one for 1st grades. Kids and staff love her and she helps the school community alot with her love and support. I would absolutely love to help her win this for her classroom ❤️
Kris loves her students whole heartedly. She has had all of my children in her classroom at some point in time, and now that they are on high school or graduated she is still their favorite and most memorable teacher. Kris makes it a point to document moments with her children and share with their families. She engages all of her students, even those with learning disabilities. All children thrive with her teaching skills! Nobody deserves this more than Mrs. Mast!
Mrs. Mast goes over and beyond for her students and coworkers. She is a positive role model for her students in and outside the classroom. I have witnessed her showing up to extracurriculars on her own time for her current and past students, just to show them support. She has a heart of gold and leaves an impact on all her students.
