“I wholeheartedly nominate Ms. Reams for recognition as an exceptional special education teacher who truly changes lives.
In her classroom at Manila Elementary, Ms. Reams sees beyond labels to the limitless potential in every student. With creativity and fierce dedication, she turns “can’t” into “watch me.” She built communication systems that gave nonverbal students their first words.
Parents call her a miracle.She collaborates tirelessly, models inclusion, and inspires everyone around her.
Ms. Reams doesn’t just teach—she transforms futures, one child at a time. She deserves this honor.”
-Kimberly Reams
