“Ever since I was 13 years old, I was hooked on loving and teaching children. I truly believe that such passion has helped me throughout my educational career,” said Arcuri, who teaches at Davidson Elementary School. “Even though I have taught both high school and elementary students, I believe it is crucial to start reaching out to learners early in their lives. My goal has always been to get children out of their seats and on their feet and most importantly to make them feel comfortable and loved.”
Earlier this year, Arcuri was also named the KISD districtwide teacher of the year, the release said. Throughout her 26-year career, Arcuri said she has dedicated herself to helping each student feel successful and important.
