“One of the components of my role as a regional teacher of the year is visiting schools across the Sandhills to learn about great educational practices and programs in our region. I want to shine a positive light on our schools and educators and be a voice and advocate for educators in the Sandhills Region,” she said in a statement.
Robinson visited Rowland-Norment Elementary, Littlefield Middle and Pembroke Elementary schools on Thursday ahead of her presentation to prospective educators at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
