PHOTO BY JIM KELLY Dawn Shinskey, child advocate recruiter for the Guardian ad Litem Program in the 10th Judicial Circuit, spoke to the Hardee Rotary Club on Wednesday, March 14, at the Java Cafe.

If interested in becoming a volunteer, contact her at 863-534-4597, 863-899-7881 or [email protected]. The 10th District includes Hardee, Polk and Highlands counties.

March 29, 2018, The Herald-Advocate A13 A14 The Herald-Advocate, March 29, 2018 Meet Our Teachers Hardee County School District

Born in Winter Haven Hardee Senior High - Business teacher, grades 9-12; Career and Technology Education I spent the first 10 ½ years as a teacher at Hardee Junior High teaching Introduction to Computer courses. I am currently in my 3rd year at Hardee Senior High . Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat! I am a proud graduate of Hardee Senior High School, Class of 2001. Associate of Arts, Polk Community College Bachelor of Arts, Communication, Florida Gulf Coast University I’ve been married 13 years to my high school sweetheart, Ryan Hayes. Our son, Eli, is 10 years old and our daughter, Ella Ray, is 6. Hobbies/Interests: I’m totally a saltwater junkie! I love fishing with my family and spending as much time on the water as possible. Top it off with lunch at a good restaurant, and that’s pretty much heaven on Earth to me. I became a teacher because I have always loved children. All the way through my school years, I was a nanny and babysat every chance I could. As I grew up and graduated from college, I wanted to turn my love for young people into a career. Mrs. Mae Robinson gave me my first opportunity in the classroom, and with that I began an overwhelming year that would turn into a true passion. Ashleigh Hayes Most rewarding moment(s) as a teacher: When I see a student successful in the workplace, on a return from the military, or as a student in college working to carry out their career dreams, the feeling of pride that I have for them is overcoming. Being given the privilege of seeing them shape their lives as they enter adulthood is such a priceless joy that I feel so fortunate to be a part of. Something most people don’t know about me: I have wracked my brain, but I honestly can’t think of a single thing. I’m pretty much an open book.

Born in Avon Park Bowling Green Elementary - Fourth grade ELA This is my first year teaching. I have substituted, volunteered, and interned for 5 years.

High School Diploma — Hardee Senior High Bachelor’s in Elementary Education South Florida State College Hobbies/Interests: I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love going to amusement parks and concerts. I became a teacher because when you’re a child, you look up to grownups that inspire you. You want to be exactly like them when you grow up. My inspiration was my kindergarten teacher. That was my initial purpose of pursuing a career in teaching. That stayed with me my entire life. I wanted to help children reach their full potential just as my teachers helped me reach mine. My most rewarding moment as a teacher has been witnessing the “light bulb” turn on a student’s face when a certain lesson they have been struggling on. Janet Guido Something most people don’t know about me: I lived in South Carolina for the majority of my childhood.

Born in Clewiston Hilltop Elementary - First grade 8 years teaching experience High School Diploma — Mulberry Senior High, Mulberry Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education — University of South Florida I am married to Pedro Gallegos Jr. and have two children, Shaila Gallegos, 4, and Giselle Gallegos, 1. Hobbies/Interests: I enjoy reading, traveling, cooking, writing, gardening, stargazing and spending quality time with my family. It was working with at-risk youth that I realized my true calling was to be a teacher. Through all the trials and tribulations I came to realize that I truly made a difference in their lives. Quite honestly, they made a difference in mine. It was a challenge, but in the end it was very rewarding. To this day, many have found me and thanked me for pushing them to do their very best. Cristina Most rewarding moment(s) as a teacher: Each year around April-May, I look for their astonished faces after they Gallegos achieve their goals and overcome their fears of not knowing how to read, count, and calculate numbers. Those are the moments I take in and in return I feel a sense of pride that I was a part of that. Something most people don’t know about me: I once visited the mummies of Guanajuato and saw the smallest mummy in the world.

Born in Richlands, Virginia North Wauchula Elementary - Second grade 42 years teaching experience High School Diploma — Central High, Blountville, Tennessee A.A. Degree — South Florida Community College B.S. Degree — Florida Southern College I am married to Timothy Alan Chaney and have two children, Kara Leigh Pretty, 36, and Lucas Alan Chaney, 28. Hobbies/Interests: I love to spend time with my four grandchildren! Why I became a teacher: My mother was a teacher in Virginia and my love of school began at an early age. Even in elementary school, I helped my teachers with other students and my desire to teach never changed. I have always wanted children to be successful and hoped that I had helped them on that path. Most rewarding moment(s) as a teacher: I think my favorite moments are when I see former students all grown up with their families and at their jobs. I tell myself that maybe they will remember a little part of the things we shared in a year’s time when I felt like they were part mine. I have always spoken of my students Peggy as my children and sometimes I have been asked, “How many children do you have?” One of my former Robinson principals told me that I couldn’t teach them everything in one year, but I just keep trying. Chaney Something most people don’t know about me: When I was in elementary school, I attended seven different elementary schools.

Born in Arcadia Zolfo Springs Elementary - Fifth grade reading 3 years teaching experience High School Diploma — Hardee Senior High Bachelor’s in History — Florida Gulf Coast University I am married to Justin Christianson and have one child, Kieran Christianson, 3. Hobbies/Interests: I enjoy reading, writing, spending time in the mountains at our family cabin, going to historical sites/museums, and traveling. I became a teacher because I grew up with family members in the school system and had many teachers that had made an impact on my life. Even though I went through college working towards a history degree, I realized that I love the process of learning and my favorite jobs were the ones where I spent time around children. I decided to work towards a teaching certificate, and this was the best decision that I could have made. I come into work everyday loving what I do and am able to teach at a school that feels like a family. My most rewarding moment as a teacher is when I see my students begin to make connections when they are reading. Regina Ussery I love seeing their expressions when they make an important connection to the story, and how excited they are that they were able to understand it.

Something most people don’t know about me: I recently just completed a cross country road trip to British Columbia in Canada. I drove six thousand miles this summer with a toddler in the car.

COURTESY PHOTO Cat Hat, also known as former kindergarten teacher Pammy Jo Roberts, recently came Zolfo Springs Elementary to read to first-grade students. She read "The Cat in the Hat Comes Back" to Kerry Mushrush, Sharon Ussery and Julia Roberts' classes. After reading the book, students were asked to compare and contrast the first book to the second book. The visit was a culmination to a week-long study of Theodor Seuss Geiselb, better known as Dr. Seuss, who was the author of more than 60 children's books. One interesting fact that the students' learned about Dr. Seuss was that all his characters had U-shaped eyes in his books.

It also extended partially into surrounding counties. In the southern citrus area, the dry conditions completely covered Glades, Hendry, Lee, and Collier counties. Manatee and Hills- borough counties in the western area had small portions showing abnormally dry conditions. Grove operations included hedging, topping, and fertilizing. Irrigation ran on most days. Canals and ditches were still low from a lack of rainfall. Citrus bloom was about over. Petals began to fall off the trees, and the new fruit began forming for next season’s crop. Valencia orange harvest is in full swing. All processing plants that are planning to open are up and running. The majority of the fresh fruit market is Valencia oranges. Mandarin harvest included Royal and Honey tangerines. Red and White grapefruit harvest is slowing down, an indication that the season is nearly over.

Fruits and Vegetables: In Dixie County, watermelon planting continued, with some fields planted for the second or third time because of frost, flooding, hail, or wind damage. A wide range of crops came to market, including avocado, beans, boni- ato, cabbage, celery, herbs, leafy greens, malanga, onions, squash, strawberries, sweet corn, and tomatoes.

Livestock and Pastures: Continued dry conditions nega- tively impacted pasture and cattle. A frost in northern counties further injured pastures. Livestock producers continued to feed supplements and supply water.

Field Crops: Producers in the panhandle harvested hay and baleage, planted field corn, and prepared cropland for other plantings.
