JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Today, we bid farewell to our Teacher of the Week series with a special recognition for Mr. Jumar Birao, a 6th and 7th-grade math teacher at River City Science Academy.
Birao embodies the perfect blend of fun and discipline, earning him the title of students' favorite teacher.
For Birao, teaching is more than just a profession – it's a dream come true. Inspired by his own social studies teacher during his formative years, he knew from a young age that he wanted to make a difference in the lives of students.
Students rave about Birao's teaching style, describing him as both fun-loving and strict. His unique approach to education creates an engaging classroom environment where learning flourishes. It's no wonder he holds a special place in the hearts of his students.
The news of his recognition left Birao speechless, humbled by the outpouring of appreciation from his school community. As our final Teacher of the Week for this school year, Birao wants to extend a heartfelt reminder to all teachers – to take time to rest and rejuvenate during the well-deserved break.
While this marks the end of our Teacher of the Week series for the current school year, the search for remarkable educators continues. If you know an outstanding teacher who deserves recognition, we invite you to nominate them for consideration on firstcoastnews.com/education.
