Paul always finds a way to make class interesting with stories and cool ways of explaining what we’re learning. Paul is funny and makes good jokes. He lets us know he cares by giving us our progress reports every once in a while to show us what we need to work on to get our grades up. Paul tells me when im doing good in class and it makes me confident to keep doing my work and staying focused. Paul has supported me inside the classroom by not giving up on me even during the times where i wouldnt do my work.

Ashley Landry
Reynolds Elementary School
Houston, TX
Recognized by: Adrian
Mrs. Landry has given my son so much confidence and has really allowed him to bloom in such positive ways. She always communicates in a way that my son can really understand. My son has such a great bond with her and loves Mrs. Landry dearly. She has given him such praise for all his hard work and I know Adrian is really cared for and is soaking up all the great knowledge this teacher has done for my son. I cannot express enough how thankful I am to have her in this school let alone be my sons teacher. She truly is phenomenal in more ways than one. Her classroom alone is vibrant and welcoming. You can tell she is truly passionate about what she does. I am so thankful that she communicates DAILY throughout the day about daily lessons and homework. Parents even get to see some pictures throughout the day to show the kids hard work or fun event for the day. This really makes my day while Adrian is at school. Again, I am so thankful for Mrs. Landry. She is the best!!!!!!!

Let's just say if she was honored with this, it would still be an understatement. She puts in all the time and effort to make sure my baby is soaring. She has all the extra skill and training to make sure everyone learns in his or her own time. Her patience is exceptional. God truly picked the kindest person with the biggest heart to teach my baby and I couldn't be more proud of her. My baby has more confidence now than she's ever had with learning. If anyone deserves recognition it's her. She's truly an angel sent to our children.

Tara Williams
Dekaney High School
Houston, TX
Recognized by: Claudia
I’m always exited to go to your class, the environment is really engaging and fun when learning. You really show that you care for us by taking your time listening and supporting your students. It’s really great to have a teacher that goes above and beyond for her students. It really shows the type of teacher you are since it’s really rare to have that now. Your dedication actually did have a switch up on me (personally) since i kinda gave up on school my freshman/ sophomore yr due to depression and some personal stuff that happened between me and my dad but ever since i started having your class my junior yr of high school i actually did start enjoying school a lot more, i got much more confident on myself and always looked for your class throughout the day. I know i still have 4 more months to graduate but i know i’m going to miss your class a lot:(. Thank you for being such an amazing teacher Ms.Williams, with much love and deep care your student Claudia🩷

Yolanda Merritt
Claughton Middle School
Houston, TX
Recognized by: Jesus
Ms. Merrit is an awesome librarian because she always goes the extra mile to make sure that her students have access to the resources they need to succeed. She has a wealth of knowledge about literature and research, and she is always willing to share it with her students.
One of the things that Ms. Merrit does to make me excited to go to class is to create engaging and interactive lessons that really bring the material to life. She also encourages us to explore our own interests and passions, which makes learning feel more personal and meaningful.
Ms. Merrit lets us know that she cares about us by taking the time to get to know each of her students as individuals. She is always ready to listen and offer advice, and she is quick to offer a kind word or a pat on the back when we need it most.
To make us better and more confident students, Ms. Merrit constantly challenges us to think critically and creatively. She encourages us to push ourselves beyond our comfort zones, and she provides constructive feedback that helps us to improve our skills and abilities.
Outside of the classroom, Ms. Merrit has supported me in countless ways. She has written me letters of recommendation, helped me to find internships and volunteer opportunities, and even invited me to join a book club that she runs at the local library. Her support and guidance have been invaluable, and I feel lucky to have her in my life.

Jonathan absolutely loves his teacher. As a parent I have volunteered and seen the classroom first hand. “Miss OJ” is energetic, kind, conscientious, and it’s obvious she deeply cares for her students. Jonathan loves when she needs helpers and makes him feel important to contribute. He loves her treasure box and always talking about it. He also enjoys the pizza parties she does as rewards for all the hard work the students do. She engages the class and has great energy in the classroom and around her students. You can see her passion for teaching and connecting and helping students learn.

Kimberly Roldan
Reynolds Elementary School
Houston, TX
Recognized by: Donovan
As Donovan's first year starting Pre-K, both him and I, were on edge to begin our school journey. Mrs Roldan, had 3 emotional children, one of them being mine, and as I saw her keep her calm demeaner through it all, I was less worried and frighten to leave my child in her care. She did not look frustrated neither did she raise her voice at the children but instead tried soothing and comforting them. Of course it did not work, but I appreciated the intent! Now, nearing the 100 days of school, Donovan is thriving in the school setting eager to go learn and feels confident and safe with his teacher, Mrs. Roldan. He loves doing homework and gets excited about receiving happy faces for his homework and for great conduct. I like that she lets the students pick where they want to sit but will move them if she notices any tension.
As a mother, I am very selective on making healthier choices/options for my child and I have been very outspoken about this with Mrs. Roldan and she has supported my choices when it comes to this in regards to treats/prizes for my child in the classroom. She will usually place treat bags in his backpack sealed in order to not have him feel left out.
