By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff

Kim Rougeau of Clarksburg School is January's Teacher of the Month.
CLARKSBURG, Mass. — Clarksburg Elementary School third-grade teacher Kimberly Rougeau has been selected as the January Teacher of the Month. 
 
The Teacher of the Month series, in collaboration with Berkshire Community College, will run for the next five months and will feature distinguished teachers nominated by community members. You can nominate a teacher here.
 
Rougeau attended Clarksburg School from kindergarten through eighth grade and fell in love with its small school feel and strong support system. 
 
Since then, she has returned to her alma mater to provide her students with the same fun, supportive, and great educational experience she had, she said. 
 
She has spent her entire 26-year career at Clarksburg Elementary, aside from a few small educational positions while attending Providence (R.I.) College for her bachelor's degree and Simmons College at The College of St. Rose for her master's degree.
 
Rougeau said she continues to learn from her students, co-workers, and recently finished the Leadership Academy program at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. 
 
"I just have a love for this school. It's special and unique. It's more like a family," she said.
