Teacher of the Week: Andrea Dillon

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — For 24 years Andrea Dillon has been guiding little minds as they take their first steps into the world of learning.

As a Pre-K teacher at Wrightsboro Elementary School she says every day she is “loving these kids, teaching these kids.”

The days in her classroom are packed with learning through play.  “It’s a very fun environment,” she says.  “it’s a very active environment.”

Ms. Dillon says as much as she wants her kids to feel excited for kindergarten, she also wants them to feel like they learn so much that “they come in with their head held high.”

In return she gets hugs, lots of love, and support from parents.  What she wants most, however, is for her students to know “that I cared about them and, hopefully, they remember Pre-K as the beginning of their education.”
