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

I’ve never seen a teacher have so much passion for what she does. She went above and beyond for her students all year long. You can truly tell how much she loves what she does and how much she cares for the students. She had amazing communication with the parents as well. Her entire class was crying the last day of school because these kids truly loved her and will truly miss her.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

One-of-a-kind teacher
