Scott Candelaria, Providence Hall Elementary

“There are not enough words in the English language to describe how incredible Mr. C is. He has a genuine love for his students and it is shown in the respect they show him in class. My daughter went from fighting with me to go to school last year, to not wanting to miss a second of class this year. She has also accelerated in Math and Reading which was a struggle before. Mr. C. has given my daughter the confidence she needed to succeed by not comparing her to others but allowing her to be her. I love the tradition his class has of singing “Sweet Caroline” to end the day. Mr. C. is an amazing teacher and if your child gets the chance to have him, you will feel like you hit the lottery.”
