September's Teacher of the Month is...

Kris Richter, a kindergarten teacher at Benjamin Eaton Elementary School. Ms. Richter's student Grayson and his mom Sadey nominated her for being "an amazing soul [who] deserves only the best."

Ms. Richter told Townsquare NoCo that her favorite thing about being a teacher is her students, stating that she loves "seeing their little smiling faces when I open the door each morning."
