Ms. Noblet said her favorite part about working at Galatia Schools is: "Everyone is so supportive. My coworkers are amazing. They have done so much to make me feel welcome. My students are the best. They have been incredible. They make me laugh so hard every day. I’m so proud that I am their teacher." Ms. Noblet's coworkers had this to say: "Ms. Noblet goes above and beyond not only for her students but all of her co workers as well. She keeps her classes so interactive and fun. It is very clear that she cares for them and has a love for English and teaching in general. She is tremendously gifted in building excitement around reading for students. Getting students interested in reading is a personal mission of hers, one that will benefit Galatia students well beyond high school. " We asked her some interesting questions: Question: Where on earth are you hoping to travel next? Response: If I could go anywhere to vacation I would choose Italy. I’d love to go see Romeo and Juliet’s balcony. It’s on my bucket list. Question: What is your spirit animal? Response: My dog Delilah is my spirit animal. She’s just as sassy as I am. We both love naps and food. She’s definitely my best friend. Thank you Ms. Noblet for all your hard work!
