Wescosville Teacher Named B104 Teacher of the Month

A third-grade teacher at Wescosville Elementary School has been named the B104 Teacher Salute award winner for March thanks to a heartfelt recommendation for the honor by his student Madeline K. and her mom, Nancy.

Michael Mauro makes coming to school each day something to look forward to, explains Madeline K. in her nomination pitch for Mauro on the B104 website.

"Mr. Mauro makes coming to school each day fun and interesting by using his guitar to teach skills, tell[ing] jokes to make a point and making each child feel worthwhile. He has a great sense of humor and is fair to everyone. He even gives us extra recess!"

Madeline K. and her classmates received a pizza party from Little Caesars, hosted by B104 radio personalities Mike & Steph to help Mauro celebrate his award. Mauro, who lives in Emmaus, also received a host of goodies from Meera Salon & Day Spa in Whitehall, Bricks for Kids and Perkins Restaurant, according to the B104 website.

Mauro’s award continues a winning streak for East Penn School District. Jefferson Elementary School third-grade teacher Sallie Yencho was the February B104 Teacher of the Month.
