There are teachers who teach because it is their career and those who teach because it is their passion. Mrs. Rivera exhibits the latter with exuberance. You can tell she loves all her babies so much. Not the good-cop, teacher love but the kind of love that both drives you to push and discipline your kids for their betterment and the kind that aches you deeply when they struggle. The love and importance we give our own children as parents, Mrs. Rivera has managed to dole out to each and every baby that has passed through her class. She has gone above and beyond day after day for their success and worried along with us for their failures. Mrs. Rivera is more than just a teacher for my girls and she will forever own a piece of their tiny hearts and minds with the goodness she has poured into them. She deserves all the goodness and blessings she has coming her way and then some and we are eternally grateful for her presence in our girls lives.
