🎉 Spotlight on Excellence: Mr. Jonathan Lane 🎉

Meet Jonathan Lane, Kindergarten teacher at Beckley Elementary—where “making a difference one student at a time” isn’t just a phrase, it’s his daily practice. From morning greetings that make every child feel seen, to hands-on lessons that turn curiosity into confidence, Mr. Lane cultivates kindness, joy, and a love of learning in the youngest Bobcats.

His classroom is a place where tiny voices are heard, big feelings are welcomed, and every milestone—tying a shoe, reading a word, sharing a toy—is celebrated like a championship win. Parents see it. Colleagues feel it. Students live it.

Let’s show our appreciation! Drop a thank-you or a favorite “Mr. Lane moment” in the comments to celebrate an educator who is shaping the future, one bright little heart at a time. 💙🍎📚 #BeckleyElementary #TeacherSpotlight #KindergartenMagic #OneStudentAtATime
