The Georgia Art Education Association has named Krista Lewis of Shallowford Falls Elementary School in East Cobb its elementary art educator of the year.
Lewis, who has taught art for 21 years “is a passionate visual arts educator who selflessly encourages and supports her students and colleagues,” said Laura LaQuaglia, the supervisory of learning design and visual arts for the Cobb County School District, in a district release.
“Her commitment in the classroom and community sets her apart from her peers.”
Lewis was named to the Cobb school district’s Teacher Leader Academy in 2019 and has been involved in GAEA leadership.
She was the organization’s Youth Art Month chairwoman, promoting “the importance of recognizing the arts in schools, created opportunities for schools to promote their art programs, and streamlined how teachers accessed YAM information,” the Cobb school district release said.
