St. John Catholic School kindergarten teacher Dana Barry was honored recently as a “Symetra Hero in the Classroom” during a surprise school assembly. Symetra partnered with the Seahawks to provide Barry with a $2,000 donation for classroom books and supplies and tickets to a Seahawks home game. She will be acknowledged during an on-field presentation during this Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers.
“Dana Barry is the kindest, most patient teacher — one who takes the time to know each individual student and ensure that each child is heard, understood, and validated. She knows what motivates them, what encourages them, and how to keep them confident in themselves and their work,” school parent Melissa Herron said in a press release. Herron nominated Barry for the award.
