"Truly an extraordinary teacher and person, she's the type of teacher in the classroom every single student in the classroom knows that they are valued, every single student knows that they are cared for."
"She is kind and compassionate and I think more than anything, of course she's a kindergarten teacher, she just has boundless patience and does such a beautiful job with those kids."
"The time he spends in classrooms getting to know kids, working with staff, coaching them up and finding great ways to support our students through every journey our kids go on."
"Reading is also that key that just opens doors, gets people jobs, into college so literacy is more than just something fun to do, it really makes a difference in people's lives."
"Giving children the opportunity to connect socially and so we're always finding ways to do that to keep that level of engagement high is something that I'm always striving for."
"She's a strong teacher, kids love her, she knows exactly what the kids are doing, in their personal lives and makes strong connections with everybody."
"If you don't have trust you don't have anything, and so really meeting kids at where they're at, getting on their level, helping with some of the adversities that they are up against."
"We don't see the successes right away but in the long run somewhere along the lines is success somewhere for students and I think that's really important."
"I'm the link between the school, the home and the community. I do a lot of communication with families, I give tours, I work with the P-T-O, I do homework club."
"The biggest thing that I think I enjoy the most is the smiles on the kids faces and when they walk through that door and the things that kids have to say."
"The most rewarding part is seeing that light bulb go off when they learn how to read or they learn how to do double digit addition and just seeing the smile."
"One of the favorite parts of my job is that I enjoy learning people's stories, and what they bring with them to school every day, what makes them who they are."
"I work with the teachers and try to find ways to help kids grow so looking at the data to see what we need to do to helps kids grow and reach their potential."
