\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\nWhen Brett Price accepted the teaching position at Bill Roberts Elementary in Stapleton, he was very excited, but also understood the challenges that come with teaching at a public school.\u00a0 \u201cTeaching at a public school in a major metropolitan area is always going to have its challenges,\u201d says Mr. Price.\u00a0 \u201cWhat I didn\u2019t predict was the outpour of support we would get from the community.\u00a0 Mom\u2019s from kids in my classes, and even moms of kids not in my classes have offered to help and be paras in the classroom.\u00a0 In fact, I actually have a wait list for paras right now. It\u2019s great.\u201d\nThe former college lacrosse player who has also done some modeling for sports equipment companies believes that this type of parent support will definitely produce strong results in the classroom. \u201cSome parents have even offered to come over in the evenings to go over the next day\u2019s lesson plans. I never expected this.\u201d\nMr. Price came highly recommended from his previous school, Ithaca HS in Michigan, although they were disappointed to lose him.\u00a0 \u201cParents were always tremendously involved in his classes,\u201d says his former Principal Gloria Campbell.\u00a0 \u201cHe was an absolute pleasure to be around.\u201d\u00a0 The Bill Roberts PTA also gave glowing reviews of Mr. Price and seemed to be enamored with him.\u00a0 \u201cThe minute we saw him, we all wanted him,\u201d said Roberts PTA President Helen Clifford.\u00a0 \u201cWe were so excited when he accepted the position.\u201d\nThe school is hoping this energy rubs off on the rest of the teachers and they are able to capitalize on the early momentum Mr. Price has started.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
