Rotary Club of Sun Lakes recently named Jennifer Keyes, geometry and algebra teacher at Basha High School, its April Teacher of the Month.
The monthly Rotary Teacher Awards are sponsored jointly by Rotary Club of Sun Lakes, Trust Bank and Earnhardt Auto Centers.
Keyes earned her undergraduate and graduate degrees from Northern Arizona University and started her teaching career in 1995 at Greenfield Junior High in Gilbert before moving to the Mesa district. Soon she was teaching at her alma mater, Mountain View High school. She joined the Basha faculty in 2016.
Basha High School Principal, Marques Reischl, who attended the Rotary Award presentation, acknowledged that Keyes’ selection was “an excellent choice.”
She said Keyes “makes every student feel welcome and provides a rich learning environment in which students can enjoy mathematics” and that she also has been a strong advocate for teachers.
