Black Press and Staples, in partnership with Camosun College, are proud to recognize some of the great teachers found here in the Capital Region. We asked our readers to nominate teachers who have gone above and beyond to make a difference in the lives of the students they teach.

Nancy Haryett is a teacher at Westmont Montessori. Here is what nominator Angela Mclean had to say about her:

She has always got a smile on her face. Loves working with children and always takes time to talk to parents and help kids if they need it. Very patient, understanding and friendly. She is leaving Westmont at end of June and my daughter has had her for three years and she has been at the school for a while. We will all miss her. SheB次元官网网址檚 such an amazing teacher and has changed a lot of people lives.

Look for our Great Teachers special section running June 21 which will recognize the three teachers selected as this yearB次元官网网址檚 representatives as well as list all of the West Shore nominees.
