PAULA BERVEN, Foothills Elementary

“Ms. Berven is an incredible teacher. She is a teacher who loves to teach and it shows everyday. My daughter who is in her class states, “She is caring and takes care of any problem and tries to make sure all the kids feel safe and cared and loved for (even with 32 kids!!).” She is passionate about teaching and puts her full effort into her job and goes above and beyond in her classroom. She takes the time to empower her kids and create a environment where the kids can be themselves and learn and grow in a safe and fun space. As my daughter says, “she is firm but fair and really cares about us.” My kiddo is very high energy and can be alot but Ms. Berven encourages her individuality which I can only imagine is hard to do, especially with 32 kids in your class!! Her love for her kids shows and she a teacher that my child and I will always remember.”
