Mrs. Fox is a nationally recognized teacher winning the prestigious Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST) this year; but she hasn’t always liked math or school. Fortunately, she had a teacher that connected with her and helped her find joy in learning … and she’s never stopped!
