Melissa ISD Teachers Receive Pay it Forward Award

On Wednesday, December 4, Mathews Auto Group (Honda and Nissan in Paris, TX) celebrated two extremely deserving teachers from Melissa ISD by honoring them through their "Pay it Forward" initiative.

Among the honorees was Hannah Brewer, a Fifth Grade Math teacher at North Creek Elementary. NCE Principal, Amy Edwards, spoke highly of Brewer, “Hannah makes a tremendous positive impact with all of the students she serves and is a great example of the Cardinal Way in everything she does!”

Also honored was Emily Tyner, a Fifth Grade Math teacher at Willow Wood Elementary. WWE Principal, Precious Bale, expressed her gratitude for Tyner, “Emily lights the way for others, blending knowledge with dedication to inspire growth and possibility. Her unwavering commitment to excellence makes her an added value at WWE!”

The dealership owners, Tim and Julie Anderson, are a former Melissa Cardinal family and initiated the “Pay it Forward” program to recognize educators who go above and beyond for students and the school without expecting anything in return. Both Kennedy and Pryor were awarded $250 each through this initiative as a thank you for their service in education.

A big congratulations to these outstanding teachers! We truly appreciate everything you do for our Cardinals!
