🌟 SHINE On Staff 🌟 Mrs. Mecca Wortham 4th Grade ELA Teacher Mrs. Mecca Wortham is a wonderful example of what it means to SHINE at Bennett Elementary. With 16 years in education and this being her first year at Bennett, she has already made a meaningful impact on our campus. Mrs. Wortham brings experience, heart, and positivity into everything she does. She has shared how much she loves the administration, teachers, and staff, expressing gratitude for how supportive and pleasant everyone has been to work with. That same warmth and kindness is reflected in the way she connects with students and colleagues each day. She lives by the words of Maya Angelou: “At the end of the day people won’t remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel.” That belief shines through in her classroom, where students feel valued, encouraged, and supported as readers, writers, and individuals. When she’s not teaching, you might find Mrs. Wortham enjoying trail mix, sipping on Topo Chico mineral water or water, and bringing calm, steady energy wherever she goes. We are so thankful to have Ms. Wortham as part of the Bennett family. Thank you for making our students feel seen, supported, and inspired—and for helping Bennett SHINE! ✨
