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

Mrs. Casaletto was my daughters first grade teacher, she is compassionate, kind and loving. She had to continue teaching during COVID, she made sure each student was actively involved and she always reached out to the kids/parents to make sure they were ok! She truly was our hero because that was a difficult time for the kids.

There’s nothing Marykate wouldn’t do for her students!
