MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. — We love to honor and recognize top teachers across Central Georgia who go the extra mile for their students.
Junior Journalist Jackson Eubanks takes you to Baldwin County to show you why one student thinks his elementary school teacher is tops.
Luein Reeves has been a teacher at Lakeview Academy in Milledgeville for over five years.
He started out as a paraprofessional before becoming a 5th grade teacher.
Reeves takes time out of his class period to work with students individually who may need extra help.
He says his favorite part of teaching is knowing he is someone his students can depend on.
5th grader Weston Goldsby says he has become more confident in his learning abilities because of his teacher.
"Having a teacher who takes the time to teach us to value learning and to work hard to overcome obstacles is far more rewarding beyond the classroom. I will carry his pep talks and his kindness with me wherever I go," Goldsby said.
"My favorite part of being a teacher would be motivating kids. You take a kid that feel, like, can't add, substract and you show them that they can, and that smile they give you is it's a joy," Reeves said.
Congratulations Mr. Reeves!
