TEACHER AND VETERAN FEATURED IN NATIONAL PUBLICATION
Wood River Middle School World Language teacher Jorge Pulleiro was featured as part of the national Troops to Teachers program. Pulleiro, who served in the U.S. Army from 1999-2005, wrote, “Teaching after serving in the military is important because as a soldier you learned to be an effective leader and acquired the necessary skills to assist others. It’s so rewarding to know that this can be transferred to the classroom. The life of a soldier is filled with multiple experiences that have helped him/her become a true leader accompanied by amazing attributes, such as loyalty, selfless service, courage, duty, honor and more. To stand before students and positively impact their lives with his/her example is truly the vocation of a lifetime.”
