Life-Changing Teaching Award Nominee
CHELSEY ZARDES
NORTHGATE CROSSING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY
Cole was a student in Ms Zardes class when he was in 3rd grade and what a difference being in her class was for him. Cole had just transferred to Spring ISD and was a new student with new classmates and all. He was definitely nervous and was very quiet and shy until he met his amazing teacher. He struggled not only with assignments but in general trying to adjust to his new school and environment. Ms Zardes pulled him out of that right away by just listening and making sure he was comfortable not only in what he was learning but just overall. As a parent you are extremely nervous and protective over your kiddos especially when they are transitioning into something new. She was a true godsend and Cole and I thank her every day it only him finding a teacher to help him through all the tough times but someone who actually listened. He carries her trust still to this day while in high school. Thank you so much for you and your dedication to your students.
