Student Nomination Story

Mrs. Cara Schaffer goes above and beyond for her students! She spends so much time to make the classroom fun for special times throughout the year. Christmas time, for example, she spent time turning her classroom into the polar express! (From the front of the class door and then inside!) The 50th day of school, she decorated the classroom like a 50s diner! The entire class will be attending a field trip at the zoo within a few days, and she found out only one student was not going to be able to attend. She went above and beyond again, and took the student and his family to the zoo during the weekend! She’s a teacher who invests her time, and so much more into her students and deserves the recognition for everything she does! She’s actively involved in the community as well! She participates in many marathons, especially when they’re helping to fund schools, or foundations. She encourages every single student and goes beyond to help them reach academic potential, along with helping them build self confidence to do and be anything they want to be. She personally tutors a student who started the year in her class, but due to health problems can not attend anymore. There is so much about Mrs Schaffer that makes her an amazing teacher and I personally want her to be recognized for just how amazing she is and how much of a positive impact she makes in her students lives and her community as well.
