Schwegler Elementary School, Lawrence, Kansas
Student Nomination Story
My teacher has changed my life so much. She always will do whatever it takes to help us learn what we need to learn any way possible. Today she knew some of us students including me were having trouble on our fraction word problems so she spent her whole lunch time just looking up more videos, tricks, and strategies just to help us all ace the test. I'm a bit ahead than other students in reading and they don't offer the gifted program to fifth graders so she makes sure i have more challenges to help me learn even more above the standards to get going up into a amazing career. She has a very funny sense of humor that all of my classmates and i enjoy. She never yells or gets mad at us and always forgives us when we know we did something wrong. She never lies and is so honest even about things other people might be afraid to tell anybody. She is fearless and deserves this so much. She is so underpaid and i want her to know that I love her so much and she's the most amazing, spectacular, outgoing teacher I have ever known and it would make her day and mine if you picked her for this amazing reward for her hard work!
