This week's WITN Teacher of the Week is Ashley Dixon, who's a second grader teacher at Aulander Elementary.

Dixon was born and raised in Roxobel, NC located in Bertie County. She graduated from Chowan College (now University) with a BS in Elementary Education in 2006. After graduation, she returned to her home county to teach at West Bertie Elementary School, where she taught both first and second grade. Dixon later received an M.Ed. in Elementary Education from Chowan University in 2010. In 2013, she took a second grade position at Aulander Elementary STEM School in Aulander, NC - the only year-round school in the county. Dixon has been teaching for 10 1/2 years and hopes to continue her passion for years to come.

The person who nominated her said, "Mrs. Dixon teaches 2nd grade and is a wonderful teacher and person. She has started a "Celebrity Reader" Program where different leaders in the county come and read to the students every other week. She has 26 students and gives each of them the time that they deserve and loves each of them as her own. She attends baseball, basketball, and soccer games of her current and former students even in the summer time or on a weekend. I feel that she is always going above and beyond the call of duty and I believe she is more than deserving of this honor."
