Teacher's Name:  Erica Grothaus
Reason For Nomination:  Mrs. Grothaus is a "special" teacher teaching special education. My 9 yr. old grandson Mykal has permanent head trauma and brain injury from a car accident. His teacher, "Mrs. G".,laughed at evaluators who told us Mykal would never be able to read or do math problems on his own. She proved them wrong time and time again...before Mykal aged out of her care last spring, Mrs. G. had him both reading and doing math! He is now even doing lists of spelling words on a weekly basis. And even though he is no longer under her direct care, she keeps tabs on Mykal and is in contact with his dad about any issues that might develop or what progress Mykal is making. All this because Mrs. G loved and cared for Mykal (and does for all her special kids) enough to break through his damaged barriers. Anyone who has had the opportunity to get to know her and watch her with "her" kids will know that the children of Yahara Elementary School have been blessed with her presence!! Grs. Rocks!!
