Leslie Mertz
Eleventh Grade
Holloway high school
Leslie has been a huge blessing to the students she serves. She teaches early childhood education where not only does she teaches high school kids about human development but also runs a day care for student’s and teacher’s children. This allows them to stay in school or keep working. She pours her heart into her students, the moms and her fellow teachers. Teaching is a stressful job, throw in a room of babies and toddlers and that amplifies it exponentially. Leslie goes into that room each day to be a light and to help make difference in these students life.
