Christine Fernandez named Marion County s top teacher
Christine Fernandez, a Shady Hill Elementary School kindergarten and first-grade MCPSonline teacher who uses puppets to engage her class, was named Marion County’s 2021 Golden Apple Teacher of the Year on Friday.
Fernandez was honored at 8:35 p.m. Friday during the 31st annual Golden Apple Gala. With the honor, she will receive a three-year lease on a 2021 Hyundai Sonata from Jenkins Auto Group.
Fernandez thanked her husband, Tony, and sons, Michael and Matthew, for putting up with all those voices that I have done throughout the years. I apologize for the kindergarten voice (that) sort of comes home with me sometimes, she said. And also I want to thank all the teachers that I have come across. Through the years, each and every one of them have inspired me to be the teacher that I am today.
