DiAndra Liccardo
Akron Summit Community Action Headstart, Macedonia, Ohio
Student Nomination Story
Tank has been going to this school for 3 years. He has never grown so attached to a teacher until he got Mrs. Liccardo. Almost every day she will walk him down to the doors to leave cause he never wants to leave her side. He’s always coming home talking about how much fun he had at school because of her. “She always gives me hugs when I want one, she’s an amazing teacher”- Tank She’s always on the ball to discuss any concerns or progress Tank has made and as a parent that’s the best thing I could ask for. If I ever have questions she always finds away to answer even when she doesn’t have the answer her self. She shows she is there for the kids in every way possible. She always goes above and beyond to make sure the kids have a great day with a smile on their face while learning. At the beginning of the year Tank had some issues with speaking 3rd person and saying certain words- he has progressed so much since then! If I ever had to recommend a teacher for parents I would tell them to ask for her (: Thank you Mrs. Liccardo for giving Tank the education he needs while making him feel so welcomed and loved at school!
