Teacher AppreciatedGresham Ford is excited to recognize East Gresham Principal, Kimberly Miles as the instructional lead of the year at the Gresham Barlow School District.  She was selected by her peers due to the dedication that encouraged her to complete her doctorate while managing the construction of a whole new building.  Her focus on the students relationship with learning never suffered.

Not many people know that Bess Wills, General Manager at Gresham Ford started a career in education prior to entering the car business.  “Children are our biggest asset and we need to treat them like it!” says Wills.  As part of her own effort to recognize the hard working teachers in our community she provided a $600 gift certificate for the recipient of Teacher of the Year.   Previously Bess also provided gifts of recognition to Becky Straight, an instructor at Gordon Russel Middle School.  Becky received an award for excellence in teaching for the 2018-2019 school year.  Gresham Ford loves supporting the community and has been joined by Ford Motor Company in Teacher Appreciation.  We appreciate you inspiring tomorrow’s leaders.
