Congratulations to
Life-Changing Teaching Award Nominee
GIULIANNA TONTI
WILLOW LAKE ELEMENTARY

STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY

I just wanted to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible impact Ms. Tonti has made in Liam’s life. Liam struggled very much with reading before entering Ms. Tonti’s classroom. No matter how much we tried, we saw very little improvement. So seeing him go from feeling discouraged to now picking up a book without me having to force him to read has been amazing. Her patience and creativity have made learning fun for Liam. Thanks to all her support and encouragement, Liam has achieved so much more in just a few months than he had in the past couple of years. I am so proud of Liam for passing his IRead exam which would not have been possible without Ms. Tonti’s support and encouragement. She worked so hard with him and provided us with all the necessary tools to ensure his success. Ms. Tonti is an extremely dedicated and caring person, which are a couple of the many reasons why she is Liam’s favorite teacher. Since day one, Liam has expressed that he loves his teacher because she listens to him and is always willing to help when he is struggling. Her support, encouragement, and her belief in him, have given Liam the extra push he needed to believe in himself and realize how much he is capable of doing. Nothing beats the feeling of seeing the happiness and pride on Liam’s face every time he accomplishes something new. Ms. Tonti has been more than just a teacher to Liam and I cannot express how grateful I am that he had the fortune of being her student. She has always been there for Liam and always went above and beyond to ensure his success. I can’t thank her enough for all she has donde for my son. Ms. Tonti is an amazing teacher and we will never forget the foundation she has built for Liam’s future.
