“Mrs. Pontes is a prime example of someone going above and beyond the guidelines of a job. She always sees the kids with a smile on her face and a loving attitude. My daughter is adjusting to having newborn twin sisters . It’s been a difficult transition but Mrs. Pontes gives her individual attention and extra help when she needs it. She understands that the children have lives outside of school. Mrs. Pontes wants to make sure the kids are adjusting the best way they can! I’m so grateful that my daughter has Mrs. Pontes as a teacher and I can’t wait for my twins to have her as well! This picture was career day and Charlotte said she wanted to be her favorite teacher, Mrs. Pontes.”

“We are so thankful for Mrs. Terceiro my son’s 3rd grade teacher. She has such an amazing way with the kids. Our son has shown such great progress this year and that is no doubt due to her amazing teaching. Taking the time to help him and giving him encouragement. She has been such a tremendous help and influence on him and I’m sure all her students. St Teresa of Calcutta is so lucky to have such a wonderful teacher on staff.” — M. Lima |

They’ve done everything they can to support and comfort her, while also keeping my husband and me in the loop. We truly appreciate their kindness and care—it means so much to our family.”

“Mrs. Gracia was the preschool teacher when our son first started on his education journey. She was kind, gentle, loving and nurturing. She reassured us every step of the way, that we chose correctly when choosing a faith based education. After all these years, our son is now in the 6th grade, she has maintained the same integrity we came to love. The love she exudes is unmatched and we are forever grateful for her!”

“I think that Mrs. T is a really awesome teacher and definitely should be nominated. I think so because she gets us to listen and pay attention by telling really fun and educational stories because if you teach a kid math and science the regular way, the chances are that they won’t remember it.
Another reason is because she taught us about fractions, hurricanes, and tornadoes. It inspired me so much that I decided to write a letter to the national hurricane center to ask to put my name on the hurricane list.
That’s why I 1,000,000,000,000% think she should be nominated. I know she works really hard at her job.”
