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

Carrie was pivotal in my daughter’s success throughout her high school career. She helped prepare my daughter for college by teaching her how to better advocate for herself and manage the anxiety and stress of schoolwork and deadlines. Carrie wiped away tears when things didn’t go well and cheered loudly when things did. As a parent, I’m forever grateful for Carrie and her giant heart.

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

Carrie truly loves each and every one of her students.
