A Berrien County substitute teacher is getting some recognition for her entry into a video contest. Lauren Mott teaches grades K through 12 at Bridgman and River Valley Schools. She tells us she came to the area last year from Chicago.

“I had a summer home and I decided to move into it and make it my permanent residence,” Mott said.

Mott entered a video contest run by EduStaff, a company that provides subs to schools. The theme was “Why I like to substitute teach.” Mott rapped an answer about how she likes the students.

“I just believe in everyone and I think that if I believe in them, hopefully, they’ll believe in themselves,” Mott said.

Mott tells us she heard from EduStaff that she’s won. She got a gift card and her video will be featured by EduStaff for Teacher Appreciation Week May 7 through 11.
