Bellefontaine City Schools is proud to announce its Thursday Tribe Member of the Week.

Ciara Irick is this week’s recipient.

Title: Third Grade Title 1 Reading Teacher

Years of experience: 16 years

Why you love being a Chieftain: We’re part of a wonderful, supportive community! I get to work with talented, dedicated teachers who bring joy to the job and want what’s best for students. We have great families in our district, and I enjoy getting to see students outside of school at events and activities. One of the best things about being a Chieftain is sharing it with my daughters!

Classroom motto or quote to live by: “Little by little, a little becomes a lot.”

What you love doing outside of school: I enjoy spending time with my daughters and husband, crafting, and reading!
