Congratulations to
Life-Changing Teaching Award Nominee
RACHELE YENCER
NORTHVIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL
STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY
The 2025/2026 school year is our second year in this school district. Natalie had an extremely challenging end to her 6th grade experience at a neighboring district. After several years, we had no choice but to make a change. We were welcomed with open arms at Nothview and all of the staff have been incredible. This is a special shout out to Rachele Yencer, Natalie's TOR. Natalie and Mrs Yencer had a rocky start last year as Mrs Yencer was the messenger regarding a parent requested schedule change that Natalie was not pleased about. Our then current TOR was not available. Mrs Yencer did not let Natalie's resistence dissuade her. She was determined to rebuild the relationship. And rebuild she did. We so appreciate the open communication between our family and Mrs Yencer. She has been a huge support to Natalie and we are forever grateful. Thank you from all of us, Mrs Yencer!
