“Miss Saltzieder is just an amazing teacher and student cheerleader! My son really struggled in his first grade class, and he has done a complete 180 in second grade because of her. She encourages her class to be creative and have fun, and celebrating their differences. When I’ve walked into their class, she is challenging them but also being silly to get the kids to want to engage. My son always gets up excited to get to school now, and it has been a thrill to see all of his improvements. She regularly reaches out to parents to celebrate their students’ successes, and draw attention to them, so parents can validate them too. My son Grayson is beaming in those 100% star wall photos. I’m so proud of all his progress this year, and I know it’s because of her example and the love she shows all of her students. My 7 year old son heard this radio ad in the car with me, and told me I HAD to nominate her, because ‘she deserves it!'”
