Here are some more submissions from the Courtade community.
Mrs. Kelly - A big shout-out to Mrs. Kelly! Your kindness, patience, and dedication truly shine through in everything you do. Your patience especially does not go unnoticed, and we are so grateful for the calm, caring way you support Silas each day. You make learning such a positive and welcoming experience, and it means so much to see how happy and excited he is to come to school each day. Thank you for the care you put into your classroom and for the impact you’re making—not just academically, but emotionally and socially as well. We are so grateful for you!
Mrs. Kelly - Consistent, caring, communication issues everything. Belief in my child and the time and effort to help him grow and show him that someone sees him and believes in him.
Mrs. Grezeszak - From Teagan: I love all the music you teach the whole class. From Teagan’s parents: we appreciated how you set up the music open house that combined instruction and performance.
Mrs. Gregory - It is clear in everything you do how much you truly care for your students. The way you teach, encourage, and care for your student’s does not go unnoticed. You have created a space where my daughter Brooklyn feels safe, so excited to learn, and genuinely loved and that means more than words can say. Because of you, Brooklyn now wants to be a teacher one day to be just like Mrs. Gregory. That alone speaks volumes about the kind of person and role model you are. Thank you for the patience you give, the kindness you lead with, and the heart you pour into not only my daughter but all the JK kids. What you do matters more than you probably hear, and we as parents couldn’t be anymore thankful and grateful for you. Teachers are superheroes!

Mrs. Helman - Mrs. Helman is without a doubt a one of a kind teacher. She has made our son feel welcomed, challenged, and most of all loved!

When I think of who I would want to be the kindergarten teacher for my kids I truly could not imagine anyone better! You are kind, creative, caring, inclusive and so many more wonderful things! You have set the foundation for our children’s educational journey, making them confident young learners that believe in themselves and know that they can accomplish all their goals and dreams! Thank you for being you, we love you so much Mrs. Myers!
