JOURNAL
Madisonville teacher has passion for sharing language By Forrest Sellers fsellers@communitypress.com
As a Spanish instructor Elvira Carrillo is used to speaking. A recent honor, however, left her speechless. Cincinnati Country Day School presented Carrillo with the Lee S. Pattison Distinguished Teacher Award. The award is annually given to one or two outstanding faculty members at the school. Carrillo said Pattison, who died in 2007, was a colleague of hers when she started teaching at Cincinnati Country Day.
“I learned from him the good values of teaching and education,” she said. A native of Colombia, Carrillo said she had dreamed of being a teacher since she was a youngster. “I enjoy passing on my culture and my language to the students,” she said. “I wanted them to experience the joy of learning another language.” After graduating from high school, she taught first-graders reading and writing at a public school in Colombia. The Madisonville resident has been an instructor at Cincinnati
Country Day for 26 years. “She doesn’t just sit in a chair,” said ninth-grader Hakeem McGee. “She gets up and interacts with the students. “She makes (learning) fun and interesting.” During the summer Carrillo takes the students on trips to Spanish-speaking countries. She also helps facilitate a cultural exchange program at the school. An avid traveler, Carrillo has visited every continent except Australia. “It’s on my bucket list,” she said about visiting there.
