SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — This week’s Teacher of the Week special recognition goes to Aracely Leija, a Wall Middle School Teacher!

Leija has taught for 11 years now with seven of those years being in Wall, Texas. The former Wall High School graduate says she loves teaching fifth graders. She said she wanted to be a teacher after one special impact she had with a teacher.

"My first grade teacher did it for me," said Leija. " I was six years old, and I didn't know a lick of English, and she was awesome! I might not have learned the language or anything at all if it wasn't for her."

Teacher of the Week is sponsored by Concho Educators Credit Union. If you would like to nominate someone for Teacher of the Week, you can do it by contacting the Concho Valley Homepage here.
