Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

Mrs. Racioppo has gone above and beyond for her school and her students. I was a member of her sustainability club for years and she always gave us support to make actual changes happen in the school. She was always available whenever we needed help and always trusted us. She helped to get me my first internship. She put in so much extra work outside of school hours for our club.

She is one of the kindest people I have known and is a hero for the school’s sustainability.
