Jenny Leverson is my son's kindergarten teacher and she had made this school year awesome for him. She is patient and caring and takes the time to get to know all of her students. She made my son comfortable in her classroom and I am amazed at all he has learned this year. He has made strides socially, emotionally, and academically and Mrs. Leverson deserves a lot of the credit for that. She has helped to inspire in him a desire to learn and an almost insatiable curiosity. Way to go Mrs. Leverson!

Mrs. Pitt is an inspiring, wonderful teacher. As a student in her choirs throughout high school, I was able to have a great hour in my school day each and every day. Directing choirs and teaching music are her passions, and it shows through all of her hard work and dedication she brings to class each day. Although singing in choir was new to me as a freshman, I enjoyed it so much that I decided to sing for the rest of my high school career. Loved and appreciated dearly by her students, Mrs. Pitt has inspired me to study ...

I was a member of the band, chorus and vocal ensemble at Tech during the late 80s. Mr. Simiele was the head of the music department. After budget cuts in 1987, he WAS the music department. Along with reading and performing music, he taught us the value of hard work and being respectful to him, our other teachers, our classmates and ourselves. I felt safe and cared about in his classroom. The lessons he taught about hard work encouraged me to keep pursuing excellence. The lessons he taught about caring for others have propelled me to a career in public ...

Mr. Plummer made Shakespeare come alive for me and the rest of the class our junior year in high school. His enthusiasm for the lyrical world was contagious.

He had us don some simple props and we were each assigned a character as we read the plays. Initially reluctant, even the men in the class got into it and we really had fun.

Mr. Burgos is awesome! He sets a good example for his students, is fair and understanding and he even plays kickball with the kids at recess! He finds clever ways to make learning exciting. He even earned a grant to travel the U.S. and create a website to help the students learn more about their great country. They can explore and contribute to the website! He also creates really fun and entertaining video appeals for PTO funding. These are fun, educational and humorous for the students.

Not only should teachers have a knowledge of what to teach but they should also have a passion to teach and a passion to help. That's what I saw when I walked into my Spanish class and my teacher started teaching. She's compassionate, caring, kind, smart, and a spectacular teacher. Ms. Schmitt has done everything she can with our Spanish class. She has made up Spanish games, put together power points, and is always willing to help! Our class does not deserve her one bit.

I think Ms. Raduenz is an awesome teacher because she makes our lessons so everyone in the classroom understands what she is teaching. She explains things very well, and the next day she will go over it again to ensure we all understand the concept. She often will teach using humor to make sure we are all paying attention. She is very kind, warm hearted and very thoughtful. I am very blessed to have her for a teacher.

Mrs. Berken is so amazing. I had her for physical science last year, and this year she is my biology teacher. I honestly think if it wasn't for her I would be failing biology. She is the most fun and the funniest teacher I have ever had. She has all these little quirky ways to help you remember things and study for tests. She also has the need to sing a lot! lol. She will sing when she is drawing...just like Simon! She is just an amazingly, awesome teacher!

I have so many incidents where she has gone above and beyond I don't even know where to begin.

My daughter is handicapped. She is deaf, and suffers from MD. When she arrived at Lincoln High School, she was wheelchair bound, and could not even communicate her needs, let alone communicate with other children. Since her time with Stefanie, she has abandoned her wheelchair, and while difficult, walks everywhere she can. My daughter has also developed friendships with other students, and can now not only express her needs, but can communicate her thoughts. She has also, with Stefanie's help, completed courses at Mid State tech, with the goal of obtaining her day care license. She recently won an academic ...

The IB program at my school is a very rigorous program that encourages students in the junior and senior years of high school to take challenging courses in order to receive college credits. Mr. Long has been my teacher for the past two years, as a History and Economics teacher. He is the reason why I chose to take Economics this year. He goes above and beyond of what is expected of a teacher. When students have questions he never denies them an answer and is always available for extra help. His sense of humor makes it easier to get ...

My favorite teacher was my freshman English teacher. She was incredibly nice and you could really tell she cared about the subject and all of her students. Her class was always the best. I felt most comfortable in the environment she set up and it was fun every day. I had hated English up until that point, but she taught me to love it. She was always so clear in her explanations and I could always understand what she was trying to get at. She always came into the classroom bringing a positive attitude that set us all going. If ...

Mrs. Williams, my son's first great teacher, is a wonderful educator because she is energetic, patient, and shows individual attention to each student. My son has a very hard time adjusting to new situations, new schedules and to new people, but he is very intelligent. She has worked with us to insure his success and he has made great strides this year. If every educator was as dedicated and as well-focused as she, I believe there would be a higher success rate in each student.

Kristi was my son's first grade teacher last year. My son was in the hospital for a 3 week stay during that time. Kristi didn't want him to miss out on any of the classroom activities while he was sick, so she arranged for him to join the class via Skype so he wouldn't miss any of the fun things happening in class while he was in the hospital. The school allowed one of their computers to be sent to the hospital for Tucker to use. Every morning, Kristi would have the class call Tucker in his room on the ...

Mrs. Mayer is the best teacher because she is loving, caring, and really takes the time to get to know her students and their parents. When I walked into her class my 4th grade year I was very slow with my math skills; it took me forever to figure out one problem. I also hated to read and I was very slow at that as well. By the end of my 5th grade year (I had her 4th and 5th grade because it was a 4/5 multiage class) I was loving to read, and I still do, I would read ...
