Her nomination states, “Mrs. Bloomfield is always here early and late to find new ways to help her students succeed. She always gives her students compliments, even when they are having a tough day. She always has a smile on her face, no matter what is going on in her life. She always shows so much love for her students.”

Mrs. Bloomfield attended Independence Community College after high school and graduated with her Associates of Science. She graduated from Sterling College in December 2011 with her Bachelors in Elementary Education. Mrs. Bloomfield says, “I have always wanted to be a teacher. I had some amazing teachers growing up in Sedan, KS, that inspired me to be a teacher. They truly cared about me, and they continue to support me years later. My favorite part about teaching is helping kids to believe in themselves and motivating them to do their best. I love getting to know each child and their family every year. I hope when my students leave my class they always have somebody they can depend on for the rest of their lives.”
