ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: ANNA TURNER ’13

Katie Botha • May 22, 2024

As the old saying goes, the apple doesn’t fall from the tree!

Our third grade teacher, Mrs. Amy Turner’s daughter, Anna (SMCS ’13), is a proud recipient of Richmond Public Schools’ Beginning Teacher of the Year Award. This award is specifically for teachers who have worked in the system for three years or less.

Anna is currently teaching 2nd grade at Oak Grove-Bellemeade Elementary, a school that serves 675 JK-5 students in the City of Richmond. Way to go, Mighty Monarch!
