Cumberland Elementary School

2nd grade

This is my mom. my whole life I have seen how hard she works and he immense loves for each one of her students. She works at a school where a lot of children are less fortunate, and there is no doubt she makes sure each one of them leaves her classroom feeling so loved and so special. Whether it be searching for hours for the best prizes and rewards, things that will brighten her students days, or buying school supplies and gloves and hats for the students who didn’t get them that year, or spending every night and the majority of her weekend printing and cutting and prepping for the next week, she would do anything for her class. I know firsthand how much teachers put into making their class feel like a safe place for their kids, and I know my mom would do anything for any one of them. I saw that in the way that when she delivered students homework packets during the lockdown, how they ran up to her and gave her the biggest hug possible. She teaches her students responsibility, life skills, whatever subject they are learning, and most importantly, love.
