Some of the things that make mr aronld awesome are that he likes joking around with people, and he gives out snacks when he can. Some of the things that make me want to go to his class are that his class is cold, and also that he lets people sit in his teacher's chair, which is comfortable. He lets us know that he cares about us because he has a bunch of QR codes that say if you need help scan or he will say if u need to talk to someone i am here. when he jokes around

At Victoria Fertitta Middle School, there is a special education teacher who specializes in teaching students in the Specific Learning Disability (S.L.D.) class. Because of her being my teacher for the past three years, I have had an incredible middle school experience. As an incoming 6th grader, it was quite scary, but Ms. Abad quickly became my favorite teacher and biggest advocate. Over the years, she has challenged me, and my peers, to reach and exceed our I.E.P. goals and to always try our very best. Writing, revising, and implementing Individualized Education Plans (I.E.P.’s) and preparing lessons for sixteen students (each year) in grades 6th through 8th who are at various levels and differing abilities, is not the only thing Ms. Abad is incredible and effective at. She does so much more inside and outside of the classroom. Each year, when I was on the basketball, Ms. Abad always attended the home games and cheered me on when I was able to play. Off the court, Ms. Abad encouraged me to improve my leadership skills by being an advisor for the Best Buddies Club. Because of her, I had the amazing opportunity to attend the Best Buddies International Leadership Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana where I learned about advocating for myself and others with disabilities. At this conference, Fertitta Middle School was nominated for "Outstanding Chapter of the Year" in the Nevada middle school category. I was also part of the "friendship" initiative for Best Buddies NV. Not only has Ms. Abad been involved in the Best Buddies program, but she has also helped Fertitta Middle School become a Special Olympics Unified Champion School. With this partnership, Ms. Abad has hosted Special Olympic events at our school and taken our entire class and other students to various Special Olympic events at schools around the Clark County School District. All of these efforts were recognized by Fertitta Middle School becoming an "ESPN Top 45 Honor Roll School" this past year. With these honors, Ms. Abad has consistently exemplified leadership in unified sports, inclusive youth leadership, and whole-school engagement. Ms. Abad you deserve this recognition and so much more, not only for what you have done for me, but what you continuously do for each of your students year after year. Ms. Abad you are the definition of a super hero in disguise! Thank you for all the seen and unseen things you do!

What makes this teacher awesome? She is very good at relaying difficult information and topics through her style of teaching. She broke down every style and kind of problem, so we had experience with all different kinds of scenarios. She also gave us examples of past AP problems to expose us to what we were going to see on the real AP test. She also gave us mini-practice exams and even a full practice test which helped very much. What are some things they do to make you excited to go to class? She was just really understanding of our lives outside of school and our coursework in other classes so I was never afraid to come to her class if I didn’t do an assignment. She was also very open with us whenever we asked questions, and if she didn’t know the answer she’d, work with us to find one. How do they let you know that they care about you? An example was during the winter of my junior year, when we had an exam set in the morning. Due to weather conditions I contacted her saying I might not be on time for the exam. She responded by saying it may be better to just stay home due to how rough the conditions were and that I shouldn’t risk driving to school. What do they do to make you a better and more confident student? By understanding when we made simple mistakes and by treating us less as kids and more as adults. She also let each of us work at our own pace, so those who were ahead wouldn’t be idly waiting. How have they supported you inside and outside of the classroom? She has given advice on topics such as work, college, and life after college. She helped me onto the right path and way of thinking for my life after high school.

Miss. Agileda was my fav bc she understand what i say. and she love ever one the same as she love herself.

This teacher always tries her best to let everyone have a great day, she excites me for this class because she teaches in a manner that is both fun and effective.

He is really good at teaching his subject. I'm really bad at math, but I actually learn at his class and I had fun while doing it.

What makes mrs.alexander awesome is that she is super kind and sweet and she helped me understand how the school system worked when I started Vail christian academy and she helped me understand the dress code when I broke it and she is just the best teacher ever for that. some things that make me excited to go to class are that she does different activities every day and she lets us watch movies like amazing grace. she lets me know she cares about me by asking how I'm doing every morning and when I was sick she made me tea. she makes me better and more confident by helping me deal with my bully and comforting me. she has supported me inside and outside of the classroom by coming to our football/cheer games and cheering louder than the parents.

Ms. Erika is an amazing teacher, and I am so grateful for the positive impact she has had on my son. Since starting kindergarten, I have seen so much growth in him from something as simple as improving how he holds his pencil to becoming more confident and enthusiastic about learning. What I appreciate most about Ms. Erika is that she doesn’t just identify areas where he needs help; she provides practical techniques and suggestions that we can also work on at home. The homework she sends home also gives me a good understanding of what he is learning in the classroom and allows us to reinforce those skills at home. She communicates with us in a timely manner and makes us feel like we are working together as a team to support his growth. It is clear that teaching is more than just a job to Ms. Erika. Her patience, dedication, and passion for helping her students succeed truly show. Seeing my son excited to learn and watching his progress has meant so much to me as a parent. We feel very fortunate to have Ms. Erika as his kindergarten teacher, and she deserves to be recognized for the difference she makes every day.

I am Aileen Andolino i granulated From Stratford High School Class of 2019 in Houston Texas Mr Altamirano at Stratford High School Orchestra he is Extremely talented and very knowledgeable and very good as a teacher and a Orchestra Director and a Excellent Speaker

Melissa has been amazing in her support of my child and helping him excel. She has been present and active in his education both academically and socially. I am very grateful for this teacher in my son's education career. She goes above and beyond for her students to make sure they are safe and can learn in a safe environment. She has been very consistent on communication with parents and ensuring we are all on the same page.

The best teacher in the whole school

Ms. Anderson is by far one of the best teachers I've ever had. Walking into her classroom makes me feel safe. She is someone I can always talk to and is a great teacher.

Mr A is such a spectacular teacher who takes time to check on individual students, staff members, and most of all his friends. The best qualities of Mr A is he is the embodiment of P.A.C.K, he shows pride everyday when he comes into work and makes the day encouraging and fun, he shows accountability by owning up to his mistakes, he is courageous because he comes into work with such courage knowing that he could have a bad day or even have a good day but he never fails to make everyone's day better, and kindness he is also so kind to his students his fellow staff members and especially his friends i don't think there has been a day where I didn't know him not to be kind to everyone even if he is having a rough go at it. Mr A is one of the best teachers that i have gotten to know in my 4 years of going to this school.

Miss Arnone is truly the best teacher! She cares so much about her students and really does everything she can to help them succeed. She understands where students need a little more help and focuses on those areas with them to improve throughout the year. She also makes learning fun and encourages the students to make friends and enjoy their time at school. We just want to sincerely thank Miss Arnone for everything she does every day helping Sebastian and her other students learn, grow and have fun! THANK YOU!!!

MS Austin was always ready to open up my credit recovery that I needed to graduate and was a cool person all around all school year.

Mrs. Babcock is one of the the most empathetic teachers I have ever had. She had a soft spot for me when I struggled with really bad anxiety and would make sure that I was doing well in Spanish. She would make it fun by having Kahoot for learning Spanish, and also had tests that were easy to interpret. I know she still cares about me as me and her contact each other once in a while and one fun fact about her is that she graduated high school with my aunt. She would give out so many extra credit opportunities that would help me study and retain Spanish words I didn’t understand at first.

Miss Baker, Where do I start? Miss Baker was the absolute best teacher my son Kaeden has had thus far. He is currently excelling in 9th grade and I truly feel that it was due to all of his teachers from previous years but most importantly Miss Baker. She gave Kaeden the space to learn and grow. She created a confidence in Kaeden that I have never seen before. My son has never spoken so highly of a teacher like he does Miss Baker. She is the definition of someone who loves the job they do, and the children she teaches every day. She never missed a school event and was always there to cheer Kaeden on and for her I am so grateful. Thank you so much Miss Baker for your amazing work, and dedication to helping my son and other children want to be in school and get an education.

In my freshman year, when I was with baloney for a week then I realized he's my favorite ela teacher and I actually enjoyed, so I did good in his class. But sadly he can't teach senior so I won't get him next year.

Mr. Barrera, You are the best teacher I have ever had. You are willing to work with the students and drive the best out of everyone. You care about what you do and have a passion I have never seen in anyone before. You are always in a cheery mood and even on my worst days you find a way to make it at least a little bit brighter. You make me excited to be a musician. I can't think of a time when you didn't check in on me and make sure I was doing okay, and you have always done your best to fix it, whatever it was. You build me up and help me grow as a singer, while still making me feel like a star. Thank you for everything that you have done for me. I hope you continue to help students grow and develop, and I pray you never forget the impact you make in this world. Thank You, Mr Barrera.
