Tim Crowe, fourth grade teacher at Caze Elementary School, is the recipient of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation’s March Cause for Applause award. The award seeks to recognize individuals who go above and beyond their normal job responsibilities.
According to coworker Tasha Jourdan, Crowe is always thinking about the students and families at Caze. Jourdan says Crowe spends most evenings attending sporting events at school and outside of school. He also purchases every student in his grade level a Christmas gift, donates money to the school’s PTA and works with after school programs like the YMCA to ensure all students have an opportunity to learn something new.
“He does all these things and expects no recognition for it,†Jourdan said. “His heart belongs to our kids and their families.â€
