Congratulations to our Teacher of the Year!
Our 2020-2021 Teacher of the Year is the amazing Mrs. Vanessa Guerra! Students, staff, and parents alike recognize the great contributions Mrs. Guerra makes to Menchaca Early Childhood Center. A few of the nominating entries stated:
“Mrs. Guerra has consistently gone above and beyond since I came to MECC in 2019. She engages students, volunteers on committees, helps strengthen our dual language program, and even works summer school. She shares resources frequently and she builds such strong relationships with students that she knows when she needs to refer them to the counselor or other professional. She was always helping when the pandemic first happened and never hesitated to support when we had bilingual needs. Mrs. Guerra is a go-getter and really sets herself apart from her peers.”
“I believe Mrs. Guerra should be selected because I worked with her for two years (my intro to the pre-kinder age group) and learned so much from her dedication to our children. She continues to carry that forward. She’s an amazing teacher and just an amazing coworker and friend always helping everyone. When someone is asking for help she never says no.”
“Not only because she’s an amazing person but she’s an amazing teacher. She’s always putting her students first; she’s always giving her all to her students.”
“She is always willing to help and never complains. A very cheerful person and easy to talk to and ask for help.”
“She is an amazing team lead and team player.”
“Because she is a good coworker. She helped me a lot when my teacher was out for personal reasons and she was not even on my team and I still got a lot of help from her. She’s the best.”
We are so proud to have pre-kindergarten dual language teacher Mrs. Vanessa Guerra as our Menchaca Early Childhood Center Teacher of the Year for 2020-2021!
