Culver Community School Corporation teacher Michelle Fobert has been named a top 10 finalist in the Colts Classroom Quarterback competition.
Finalists were chosen on based on three criteria: Amount of involvement in school and/or community, degree of positive impact on the school and/or community, and demonstrated commitment to education, health and wellness initiatives, and other programming.
Fobert has been a teacher for 10 years and was nominated for this title by a current co-teacher. Her nomination included her work with students in and out of the classroom as well as her work with Odin the Therapy Dog. Fobert oversees the therapy dog program and brings Odin with her weekly to be a resource to students when they are feeling overwhelmed or need a break. She volunteers at Millers Merry Manor and the Culver Union Township Public Library with Odin.
Fobert also organizes the HNAC writing competition along with other fellow teachers. She also oversees the CAVS (Culver Alliance for Voluntary Service) Club which involves high school students who focus on giving back and other community initiatives.
Finalists for the Classroom Quarterback program were chosen by a panelist of educational professionals, The Indianapolis Colts, and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Michelle received a $100 amazon gift card to purchase school supplies, two tickets to the Colts home opener game and Colts Swag. If she is chosen as the Classroom Quarterback of the year she will also receive a $2,500 donation for Culver Community High School.
