Our community came together to spotlight the educators who go above and beyond every day — the ones who inspire, support, and uplift their students in countless ways. Here are the outstanding educators who earned their well-deserved recognition and a look at why they were nominated!

Adelia Avila

"I would like to nominate my friend Adela Avila at Hopkins Elementary for this giveaway because she truly embodies what it means to be an extraordinary educator. She is not only caring and supportive, but she pours her heart into her students every single day. Whether it’s staying late to help a student, creating a safe and welcoming classroom, or simply being someone her students can count on, Adela goes above and beyond. Her passion for teaching is evident in everything she does. She celebrates her students’ successes, big and small, and helps them overcome challenges with patience, kindness, and encouragement.
Adela makes a difference in her students’ lives, and I can’t think of anyone more deserving of recognition. She is the kind of teacher that leaves a lasting impact, and I am so grateful to call her a friend."
