Mrs. Tanner is an amazing Special Ed teacher. This is her first year at the High School. Mrs Tanner had been working as an aid prior to this assignment. My son Jacob Sorensen is in her class. My son has Down syndrome and also has some autistic tendencies. Mrs. Tanner has given him the time, […]

As soon as I heard about this opportunity to nominate an amazing teacher, I had to nominate her. I am now a current student of Mrs. Haymore’s Math class. She is the most caring teacher I’ve ever had. She makes me feel like I can do hard things and I feel that she truly cares […]

As a parent to a first grade student I have been blown away from the support that Mrs. Bremer gives not only my child but me as a parent. My child has a seizure disorder that despite many different drug trials we were unable to get under control by the time school started in August. […]

Lavinia Gripentrog is the teacher for Murray Adult Transition, an extension of special education where students are given a few extra years to apply what they have learned to real life. She spends her days in the rain, snow or heat helping students maneuver public transit, find their way on SLCC campus, journal activities in […]

He gets to know each of his students and cares about them individually. The enthusiasm he shows for his curriculum and for his students is contagious. Mack […]

Our daughter, Emma, started kindergarten this last fall. She is very shy and will not talk to other people. She even takes time to warm up to grandparents that live out of town. It took her 9 months to start talking to her Primary teacher, so we knew that going in to kindergarten was going […]

My son has had a rough go for someone so young and was academically over a year behind the rest of his class. Medical issues and peer problems were a constant shadow over his young life. Previous teachers tried to help him catch up to no avail. We were at the point of desperation and […]

I believe Nadine Jeppson is truly a dedicated and enthusiastic year round teacher, at South Jordan Elementary School, in South Jordan, UT. I think the most important thing you can give to children is to let them know they are loved and that they can accomplish whatever they believe they can. Mrs. Jeppson helps them […]

My mom has fulfilled many roles in her lifetime. She has been our: best friend, taxi driver, cancer survivor, paper editor, soccer mom, tutor, advisor…the list could go on and on. She has successfully met our needs at home, and has somehow managed to be the most committed teacher I have ever had the privilege […]

Mrs. Lee teaches 4th grade at Sunrise Elementary. My son had had a pretty tough 3rd grade year and I was concerned about how he would do in 4th grade. He is very bright, but has a lot of energy! I knew it was going to be a good year, when on the Saturday after […]

It may seem weird to have the child of the teacher do the nomination rather than a student. The differences between […]
