Ms.Sexton has taught me just how selfless teachers are!

All teachers deserve to be recognized, And one that is extra special in my eyes! She loves what she does each and every day, Helping children gain confidence in what they do and say. She lets them know that failure is not bad. It just makes us stronger and wiser and glad, That we have a chance to grow from our mistakes. A confident person is what failure makes! Believe and achieve is her favorite saying. Her students are learning while they think they are playing! She was my son's math teacher in the 3rd grade, I cannot thank her enough for the impact she's made. Granted with patience and a heart of gold, I think when God made her, he broke the mold! This teacher that makes my heart go aflutter Is none other than my wife and my son's beautiful mother! How I wish my teachers had been so caring and kind, My wife is the most wonderful teacher you could find! My wife, Rhonda Peña, is a 5th grade math teacher at Bryan Elementary in Mission, TX.

My daughter , Denise Wilson is my favorite teacher. I am so proud of the way she loves her students.

Teachers are the voice our children hear when we cannot be there for our kids. They are an incredible influence on our children's lives. They should be commended for their hard work and loyalty.

My daughter's 3-year old preschool teacher was Ms. Kayla and she was awesome, my daughter still talks about her.

I remember the day when my daughter joined Mrs. Thompson's class at NHM in last fall. I was curious to see her go through new class and environment and by the end of the year, i see my princess growing full of joy and confidence. Thanks to her teacher as she taught her that i miss.

I would like to nominate Nichole Harville from Ellendale Elementary. She is a dedicated teacher and works tirelessly for others. She recently chaired a fundraiser that raised nearly $20,000 for technology for our school!

Jennifer Finley Zeal. She's cool as hell. She takes an honest interest in her students. Three years after highschool and we still converse. She is even my Facebook friend. She's a teacher, but she's my friend. I know she cares about me.

My son Gavin's Phy. Ed. teacher Ms. Kasie Tverberg is my most appreciated teacher. My son has ADHD and needs his daily gym time for letting off his extra energy. Ms. T knows this, respects the situation, and helps Gavin understand and grow with this. She has emailed me to check up on things, and takes the time to tell Gavin how well he is doing as a young man in general. Wow! this teacher is a gem and deserves any and all recognition. She also has been to his IEP Meetings to introduce herself and talk of great things with us about Gavin.

My daughter's teacher, Mrs.Eshelman, is great because she always looks at the positive in her students, never the negative. My daughter loves her- she's in 2nd grade and so far she's her favorite teacher.

Mrs. Schielke is my favorite teacher because she encourages my daughter every day and makes her feel like there's nothing she can't accomplish.

I am a teacher and I would donate the other gift card to a new teacher in our building. I know how much teachers spend out of their own pockets!

Mrs Case, my kindergarten teAcher because she was so sweet and we had fun!

My 11th and 12th grade English teacher, Mr. Ippolito, was the greatest teacher I've ever known. He respected us and treated us as equals, even though he didn't have to. He was one of very few people I've known that when he told me I could be anything, I actually believed what he was saying.

My brother is a simply awesome Music and History teacher at a charter school. It amazes me to see how grown adults who had him as a teacher growing up continue to stay in contact with him and hearing how he affected their lives nearly brings me to tears with pride.
