A fourth-grade teacher at a Salt Lake City school earned Teacher of the Year honors by the Utah Afterschool Network.
Anna Sagan with Dual Immersion Academy has a special connection with her students.
“I was also an English language learner. I came here at six and didn't know even one word of English,” said Sagan. “I show them, I struggled with this — let's do this together.” “I stay after school until they kick me out,” Sagan said. “I have volunteered my whole life, so I don't think of it as something I need to get paid.”
“She is here until 6 p.m. We do have to kick her out,” said Angela Fanjul, director of Dual Immersion Academy. “That’s how she got involved in afterschool, because if you're in the building, let's have you do something.”“Some of our kids show up at 7:30 a.m and leave at 6:00 p.m. at night. We are the most consistent place in their life,” Fanjul said. “That's nothing against their parents — their parents are working hard.
