Meet our most recent SFSD All Star, Rose Ruffinott! ✨
Rose is a superstar first-grade teacher at Lowell Elementary. She was nominated for the award by her colleague, Debra Rodgers, who describes her as “the epitome of a perfect first-grade teacher.” Her kindness, empathy, and dedication to her students are felt every single day.
Whether it’s waiting with a student whose ride is late, or bringing creativity to life by involving her students in decorating the classroom door, Rose always goes the extra mile to make her classroom a welcoming and creative space.
Please help us congratulate Rose on this well-deserved recognition! Thank you for all you do, Rose!
