2021 TOMS Teacher of the Year

Congratulations to our 2021 Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Linh Nguyen!
Here's what some of her colleagues had to say about her:
"She goes above and beyond to help those who need help the most. She has one of the most toughest jobs in the school and it’s time to acknowledge all her hard work!"
"She is always willing to help other teachers. She has the best advice and has her classroom management down pact."
"Linh takes her daily challenges in stride in managing her classroom. She teaches three different grades (and at times, different levels within those grades). Her almost all-male classroom respects her for her honesty, her willingness to process behaviors with them while holding them accountable, and her ability to let them start new everyday. Her daily point system keeps them motivated and on-track. When behaviors occur, Linh's communication with parents is timely, honest and caring. Our parents are so grateful to have their special needs children under her teaching, guidance and care!
She is the epitome of positivity and patience."
"Linh goes above and beyond for her students. She's here early, and she stays late. The work she does with her students often goes unnoticed since she doesn't share students with other teachers for the most part. She is structured and calm and caring and dedicated to their success."
"Mrs. Nguyen goes above and beyond her teaching duties to make sure her students are safe, loved, and cared for. Her calm and composure help during stressful moments and she is truly a behavior GURU! She prepares daily quality lessons for her students and makes sure they are succeeding academically and socially. She also helps her colleagues with resources, assists with IEP writing, especially in the area of behavior. Mrs. Nguyen volunteers for events within the school setting and is always ready to help anybody who needs assistance. She is amazing!"
