Congratulations to our Staff Members of the Year!!

Teacher of the Year – VPS
Lisa Brown joined the staff at Venus Primary School just this school year and has made a huge impact on our youngest students. She has taught special education for the past 16 years and came to VPS earlier this Fall to teach our PPCD class. When she was little she always loved “playing school” and dreamed of becoming a teacher. She has been married for 16 years and has a 13 year old daughter and a puppy named Minnie. In her free time she enjoys spending time with her family, shopping, swimming and reading a good book. Staff members at VPS nominated her and said, “Mrs. Brown is very patient and calm. She is always smiling and does an amazing job with our PPCD students. She is loving, patient, and knowledgeable about the needs of her students. She is consistent with her lessons and never waivers in the most difficult of situations!” We were very excited when we found Mrs. Brown to join us at VPS. She is a true asset to Venus Primary School and her positive attitude makes every day brighter at VPS!

Paraprofessional of the Year – VPS
Amber Messmer has been at Venus Primary School for 7 years. She starting working with our students as PTO President and a substitute teacher. She has been a paraprofessional at VPS for the last 6 years and is currently serving as the PE Aide. She has been married for 19 years and has 2 teenage daughters. She is currently finishing her teaching degree at Texas A&M Commerce. Her peers said that they voted for her because of her willingness to help out in any situation and jumping in to put her “all” into everything she does. “Amber is always stepping up to the plate for our students. Her energy level amazes me. I marvel at the fact that she is also in school and working on her teaching degree while she works so hard for the good of VPS.” Another staff member said, “Coach Messmer is an amazing person. She continuously puts others before herself and strives to make sure the students know they are loved!” Venus Primary School is proud to have Amber Messmer as a staff member and we can only see great things ahead for her as she becomes a teacher and gets a classroom of her very own!
