Last night we proudly celebrated Mrs. Shalicia Bables, Malvern’s Teacher of the Year and one of McKinney ISD’s Teachers of the Year!
Mrs. Bables goes above and beyond to ensure every child feels seen, supported, and capable of success. She creates a classroom where students take ownership of their learning, build confidence, and grow academically and socially. Through high expectations, meaningful relationships, and intentional instruction, she meets students where they are and helps them reach their full potential.
Malvern is better because of Mrs. Bables, and our students are stronger because of her dedication.
We are grateful for the difference Mrs. Bables makes in the lives of our scholars every day. ❤️🦅 #EveryStudentEveryDay #RedHawksRising
