September 2025 Ignite Passion Winner

September's Ignite Passion Award winner is Andrea Fisher from Locust Grove Elementary. While Andrea previously taught STEM at another school, she is new to the role at Locust Grove this year.

In just a few weeks’ time, she has created an incredible buzz among the students around critical thinking and design challenges. In fact, one student was talking to her mom about a problem she was trying to solve at home and quoted the engineering process she learned from Mrs. Fisher!

Andrea Fisher has a gift for making STEM come alive for her students. She fills her classroom with hands-on projects, real-world connections, and creative challenges that spark curiosity and excitement. Andrea’s energy and passion are contagious—her students can’t help but dive in and get inspired.

Her enthusiasm and dedication make her a true role model. Andrea motivates students by fostering curiosity, encouraging perseverance, and showing that learning is both valuable and fun. Her efforts not only boost academic growth but also spark a lasting love for discovery and problem-solving.

Andrea is a shining example of what it means to ignite passion in education, and her students benefit from her creativity and care every single day. Congratulations!
