Teacher Spotlight: Farmingville Teacher Treats Children 'Like Her Own'

FARMINGVILLE, NY — Great teachers matter.

In Farmingville, we're fortunate to have teachers like Mrs. Wilson.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize teachers and show them how much they’re valued and appreciated.

This submission comes from Ana Steiger who nominated Mrs. Wilson of Farmingville.

How do you know the teacher?
My son had her for 4th and 5th grade.

What does this person teach?
Special education, various grades.

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

She cares about her students — treats them like her own. She sees their strengths and weaknesses and finds a way to make each child feel confident in themselves. She gets to know the children so well that she knows what triggers them and what motivates them. She communicates with parents and also knows all the resources available to help children succeed.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?
She’s more than just a teacher. She will be like family. She loves and cares about our children.
