"Miss Filbert goes out of her way to make learning fun and exciting for her kinders. She has great energy, loves her students, and is always finding ways to get the kids moving around and having fun while they learn. --Don't even get me started on her virtual learning patience and interaction--amazing!! We love Miss Filbert!"

"Jen Tsonos is an exceptional special educator that is ALWAYS putting the needs of students first. She is flexible and creative in designing and making adjustments to supports for students. Jen serves as a valuable resource to her colleagues in conversations about how to best support the academic and social emotional needs of students and she works closely with paraprofessionals who work directly with students on a daily basis. I have worked in public education for 28 years as a teacher, district administrator, and principal and I can honestly say that Jen Tsonos is one of the most caring and exceptional special educators I have ever had the honor of working with. She positively impacts students and their families on a daily basis."

"Miss Reddy is the most patient and resourceful special educator my son has ever had. She is a master of caseload management, restoring hope and dignity, while supporting my son and us equally. Her skills in communication, listening, PATIENCE, and collaboration throughout this year have been nothing short of amazing.

She has enabled independence, and challenges our son to be the best academically that he can be. On Teaching Learning Night, my son presented his project to my husband and I. She found me and made sure she was in his classroom while he presented. During his presentation, I looked up to see Julie's face lit up with as much pride as ours.

The kindness and dedication she has shown to us and our son is the reason I'm nominating her."
