Life-Changing Teaching Award Nominee
JENNIFER GALDI
DAVID M COX ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY
Ms. Galdi is ann outstanding teacher who truly makes a lasting difference in her students’ lives.
Ms. Galdi has been an incredible teacher to my daughter Anna, and she was also a wonderful support to her sister Olivia a few years ago. What makes Ms. Galdi so special is her genuine care for her students — not only during the school year, but even after it ends. She takes the time to check in, encourage, and support her students as individuals.
She is deeply understanding of the challenges faced by non-native English speakers and makes every student feel included, capable, and confident. Her classroom is a safe and supportive environment where kindness, fairness, and respect are always present. She encourages effort, growth, and self-confidence, while holding high expectations in a way that feels motivating rather than stressful.
Ms. Galdi is supportive to all students, treats everyone fairly, and leads with empathy and patience. Both of my daughters felt seen, understood, and valued in her class — which says everything about the kind of teacher she is.
She is truly one of the best teachers we have had, and our family is incredibly grateful for the positive impact she has made on our children.
