Teacher Tour
presented by 5xStronger
May 2022
The Teacher Tour, presented by the 2021 Teacher of the Year finalists, known as 5xStronger, recognizes and celebrates some of the fantastic and extraordinary teachers in our schools. Each month, nominations are accepted for teachers who are doing an outstanding job in a specific area. One winning teacher will be selected each month, but every nominee will be recognized in the HCPS 411 Update. The winning teacher will receive a surprise visit from the 5xStronger team and a special gift from one of our community partners.
For their fifth stop, 5xStronger recognized Karen Louderback, of Fountain Green Elementary School!
“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” -Benjamin Franklin
Engaged students are interested in the content, involved in the lesson, and invested in their learning. Engaging classrooms often have students that are excited, curious, and committed to learning. These classrooms can be identified by a positive and energetic environment, resulting in a deeper understanding and a higher level of retention.
A big, heartfelt thank you to our program sponsor, APGFCU, for their donations to our program!

We look forward to continuing the Teacher Tour next year!
Thank you to everyone who nominated one of our outstanding teachers for our Teacher Tour. It has been so uplifting and encouraging to visit our winners in their classrooms and see the impact they have on their students each and every day. As we approach the summer months, we will be pausing our Tour, but we look forward to recognizing more teachers and visiting classrooms again next year!
We hope all of our fellow teachers have a wonderful summer and we look forward to greeting a new group of students with you next year!
