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.

Melissa Dorran is a teacher at Ecole John Stubbs Memorial school. Here is what nominator Kirsten Quealey had to say about her:

Mme. Dorran is extremely warm and welcoming to all students. She goes above and beyond to be sure her students feel safe, confident and encouraged in her class. She makes learning enjoyable and her calm demeanor makes her a joy to be around.

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.
