We are so excited to announce the final winner of our Littleton Chevrolet Teacher Giveaway! Please join us in congratulating Maci MacKillop, a dedicated 2nd-grade teacher at Lakeway Elementary School right here in Littleton.

This year marks the start of Maci’s third year teaching, and we couldn’t be more impressed with her journey. After graduating from Plymouth State University in 2023 with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, Maci didn’t stop there. She is currently working toward her Master’s degree in Curriculum and Design from Southern New Hampshire University. It’s truly refreshing to see such a young and passionate educator so committed to her students and her career.

We asked Maci what she loves most about being a teacher, and her answer was so heartwarming. “I have always loved kids,” she said. “Even in high school, I did a lot of babysitting and I really enjoyed my time with them.” She went on to explain how rewarding it is to help her students develop relationships and grow as people. “In 2nd grade, it’s the perfect opportunity to encourage them and see them grow. Their social and emotional growth is so important at this age. As they grow during the year, they begin to build friendships and independence.” She loves seeing the unique things that make each of her students special.

Maci also shared her appreciation for the support system at her school. She noted that her fellow teachers often meet as a group to discuss student concerns, data and testing, and the social and emotional aspects of a student’s journey.

When asked about the biggest challenge she faces as a teacher, Maci’s response was simple and selfless: “I just don’t have enough time in the day to get everything that I want to do with the students. I just want to keep helping them grow.” Her desire to do more for her students, even with the limited time she has, is truly inspiring.

And now for the important question—what will Maci be purchasing with her $500 Amazon Gift Card? She plans to invest in more manipulatives for her classroom, including cards, tiles, base-10 blocks, and dice. These hands-on math tools will help her students learn in a fun and engaging way.

Congratulations, Maci! We are so proud of you and your commitment to making a difference in the lives of your students. We thank you and all of the incredible teachers out there who work tirelessly to shape the next generation. Have a fantastic school year!
