Kelly Eberlin
Roxana Junior High
6th grade Math
Mrs. Eberlin was my daughter’s 6th grade math teacher last year, and she is the middle school cross country coach. Because of the pandemic, they didn’t switch classes, so she stayed in her room the entire time. My daughter is very shy and was really scared to go to junior high. Mrs. Eberlin took her under her wing and helped her gain confidence ever day that she was in her classroom. She helped my daughter adjust her life when she broke her toe, and she helped her deal with the loss of our dog as well. She is the most caring person I have ever met. It is because of her that my daughter is running in cross country and she participated in track last year and plans on participating again this year. I have seen her build up several kids’ confidences. The kids love her. Even after they finish 6th grade, the older kids visit her classroom all the time. She is everyone’s cheerleader, and she is available for her students day and night. There is nothing she wouldn’t do to help or assist her students. I really hope she can be recognized for all her hard work.
