Bank & Trust honored Anson County’s Teacher
of the Year Luke Hyatt recently at the company’s
Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Mr. Hyatt teaches physical
education classes at Peachland-Polkton Elementary School.
Teachers have a special mission of
helping mold and encourage our children to be what they can
be, to dream big dreams and realize those dreams. "Luke chose
this profession because he wanted to help children achieve
their goals of becoming great athletes and he wanted to make
sure that students remained healthy throughout their life." said
Kenneth Huntley, Anson Bank & Trust's Board of Directors’ Chair,
who recognized Mr. Hyatt.
"Luke is a very industrious individual
who sincerely cares about students and their welfare. He
uses very positive approaches that foster responsibility,
citizenship as well as strong self-esteem. Children and parents
are very proud to have Mr. Hyatt as a teacher. It is my distinct
honor to recognize Anson County’s
Teacher of the Year Luke Hyatt, a recognition he so deserves
for the impact he is having on our children and our future.”
