For the third time in four years, a Roxhill Elementary  teacher has been
chosen as a "Heroes of the Classroom" winner. Honored  today in a ceremony
at
the school: Robin Hicks, who teaches 3rd-5th-grade  Roxhill students who
are
on the autism spectrum (at center in our photo  with Jennifer from Symetra
and Allison from the Seahawks, both  organizations that sponsor the
awards).
Her prizes include a $1,000  donation for classroom supplies and books and
two tickets to this Sunday's  Seahawks game with the 49ers; she'll be
recognized on the big screen  during the game. Read on for more about her
work and her  nomination:


>From Symetra's news release:

. "Robin  Hicks has a challenging student population at Roxhill Elementary.
In  addition to her responsibility for the educational curriculum of nine
students with diverse needs based on their place on the autism spectrum,
she
must manage the complicated behavioral and sensory aspects that  children
with autism exhibit," said Kelley Sepavich, a parent of a Roxhill
Elementary
student. "Not only does Ms. Hicks approach her role with the  seriousness
it
requires, she does so with enthusiasm, respect and an  enormous amount of
patience." Sepavich nominated Hicks for the Symetra  Heroes in the
Classroom®
award.

"Over the course of her  tenure at Roxhill, Ms. Hicks has done more than
teach her students to  read, write and do math. She and her aides have
taught
their students how  to get dressed, eat with utensils, sit calmly, walk
quietly, and generally  how to behave in a world they are continually
trying
to navigate," said  Sepavich. "Spend one day in Ms. Hicks' classroom, and
you
will be in awe!  I am continually amazed at her ability to manage it all."

Hicks  is one of 16 K-12 teachers across the Puget Sound area who will be
honored  for educational excellence in the Symetra Heroes in the Classroom
program  during the 2013 NFL season. Teachers are recognized in front of
their  students and peers at surprise in-school presentations, and they
receive a  $1,000 donation for classroom books and supplies. In addition,
they  receive tickets to a Seahawks home game and are acknowledged during
an
on-field presentation at CenturyLink Field. Hicks will be recognized at
the
Sept. 15 game when the Seahawks take on the San Francisco  49ers.

Teachers may be nominated by their principal, district  staff, student or
student's parent. The winners are selected based on  their ability to make
a
real difference in students' lives; to go above  and beyond in their
day-to-day responsibilities; and to help students  build life skills.

More information about Symetra Heroes in the  Classroom is available at
www.SymetraHeroes.com/Seahawks.

Roxhill's  two previous winners were Christopher Robert in 2009 (WSB
coverage
