COTTLEVILLE, Mo. â A local teacher has won $500 for the influence sheâs had on students both locally and abroad.
Not only does Meagan Bradford teach preschool at St. Joseph Catholic School in Cottleville, Mo. but she also helps run a school in Haiti. Crystal Pini, the mother of one of Bradfordâs former students, nominated Bradford for KPLRâs Tools For Teachers award because she believed Bradford âexemplified what an educator really (was).â
âShe works here (in) STL full time as a teacher and also continues to run a school that she started in Haiti,â Pini wrote in her nomination. âShe spends her evenings and weekends working on Haiti school items and travels there on her breaks to continue to support their school there. (Sheâs) such an amazing teacher and we are truly blessed to have her in our family and childâs life!â
Bradford and Pini joined KPLR 11 Friday, June 21, 2019 so that Bradford could receive her $500 check from Weber Chevrolet.
