Congratulations to Ms. Karen Nuñez for being named the November Teacher of the Month! Ms. Nuñez is known not only for her strong instructional skills, but also for the genuine kindness and compassion she brings to her classroom every day. She builds meaningful connections with students, creating an environment where they feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow.
Many students enter her classroom unsure of their math abilities, but Ms. Nuñez has a remarkable way of helping them discover the confidence they need. She consistently takes the time to explain concepts clearly, check for understanding, and offer encouragement when students need it most. Her commitment to ensuring every student feels capable and supported is a big part of what makes her stand out.
Ms. Nuñez’s dedication, patience, and belief in her students make a lasting impact on our school community. We are proud to celebrate her and grateful for the difference she makes at Julesburg Junior/Senior High School. Congratulations, Ms. Nuñez!
Ms. Nuñez was nominated by the Junior class and here are some of the things they had to say about her:
“Although I hate doing math and I'm not good at it, she always tries to make it fun for us, gives us different ways to learn different problems, and I enjoy talking to her. She also has the best outfits!”
“Ms. Nuñez always tries her best to support her students and help them understand the work she is teaching. No matter what is going on in her life she always has a great attitude in the classroom. Ms. Nuñez has empathy towards her students while still having direction in her class. She is a great teacher and an even better person.”
“She has been very kind and she has made it her mission to help us succeed in the classroom and in life.”
“She makes it her priority to make sure that students get the material and has a smile on her face everyday even if she is having a bad day.”
“Miss Nunez is very caring and takes a deep passion for helping the class understand math. She also makes lessons fun and incorporates many enjoyable activities that still help us learn. Overall, I really enjoy going into her class everyday because I know I am going to have a fun challenge waiting for me.”
“She has put a lot of effort into making worksheets to help us remember our Math rules. This is very helpful as it provides us with additional materials to help when studying for our test, and it helps while we are completing our assignments.”
Ms. Nuñez’s dad, Albino, also works at the school and received votes as Staff Member of the Month. Here is what the students had to say about Albino:
“He helps keep our school clean and helps set up for sports events. He never fails to put a smile on someone's face, he likes to communicate with the students. He finds a way even though he doesn't fully know English, some of the Juniors like to practice their spanish by communicating with him. Mr.Nunez has also been helping Sergio learn life lessons which shows qualities of a kind, dedicated, and caring leader.”
“He shows up early in the mornings to make sure the school is in perfect condition for all of us. He sacrifices his time for all of the jobs that not everyone loves to do, and he always does it with a smile.”
This father-daughter combination clearly does some great things for the Julesburg School District and we are lucky to have them both on our team!
