PARTING SHOT

Spreading Kindness with Style Jarrell Independent School District has incredible teachers who work tirelessly day in and day out to help shape and mold our children. Some teachers truly touch your heart and Robert Shine just happens to be one of them. Mr. Shine is a first-grade teacher at Igo Elementary and no pun intended, his passion for education truly shines though all he does. An enthusiastic, hands-on teacher, he continually goes above and beyond for the students in his class, whether that means sitting with them at lunch each day or buying them all wrist watches so they could practice their newly learned time-telling skill.

Wanting to inspire his class even more, Mr. Shine bought his students t-shirts, saying, “When the students are all wearing their shirts and walking through the hallways, the other classes notice and it makes them feel like leaders among their peers.” The phrase on each shirt is a true representation of who Mr. Shine is and the qualities he is instilling in his young scholars:
“Be kind, let your light shine.”
