Congratulations to

National Teaching Award Nominee
Rebecca Rivers
Harrison High School, Colorado Springs, Colorado
Student Nomination Story
I believe that Ms. Rivers should be nominated because she has been through a lot and she just started teaching last year. Last year she had multiple family deaths and didn't want to go but because she did she trusted us and for that am so thankful. A conversation I can never forget is when I thought my dad would have to go into a wheelchair and so therefore, I told her I was dropping out. She wouldn't let me, she stated, "No matter how hard life gets I'll be here and I can help you with this too." She not only did that but she also was able to teach me that no matter how hard life would get there will be someone there to help. She can be the one that we count on even though she has been through so much, so if it is possible then I would love to have to you have her as the most honored teacher ever.
