“Miss Nielsen is one of a kind. She possesses a rare and remarkable patience that allows her to navigate the high energy of her first grade classroom with a soft heart. She has a gift for making each child feel uniquely special, creating an environment where they feel safe to take risks and grow. Miss Nielsen’s dedication extends beyond the school day and the walls of her classroom. Her kindness is best exemplified by her selfless response when a student had a personal item broken outside of school hours; without hesitation she used her own time and resources to help rectify the situation. She’s generous and shows genuine love for her students. She goes out of her way to make sure no child feels left behind or unsupported, making her a shining example of what it means to be a transformative educator.”
