Jordan Body was nominated by her colleague, Eric Arenas.
Ms. Body is a great teacher. She makes sure each student has the tools needed to do the assignment. She explains in great detail what the lesson is about. If students have questions, she answers them in a way that the students will understand in order to do what is expected from them. She goes out of her way to make sure students understand the lesson and concepts.
Ms.Body is a wonderful teacher she does everything she's so inspiring and has helped us throughout many years and makes sure we have everything we need.
She is a hard working and helpful teacher, and even tho 312 is not so well she still believe in us and know we can do better, so in everybody opinion in 312 we would like to select Ms Body.!!

Ms.Body is an exceptional and AMAZING TEACHER. She has had me since 4th-8th grade and out of all my reading teachers, I feel she has taught me the most. Not only taught me, but inspired me also! Ms. Body was the first one to see me for my talents and who I really was. She helped me discover some things I didn’t even notice about myself. I never knew I wanted to be a writer/author, but the more Ms.body was helping me learn writing and making books, I felt like I found my interest. EVEN OVER THE SUMMERS, I felt inspired to make a book, I made the covers, and even the format of it. And I was one of the first to show her what I had made come to life. She helped me picked my cover for the book and said she would love to read one of my books, one day. Thank you, Ms.Body, you have made the quiet kids feel seen, the people who felt like nobody was listening, feel heard, and not only that, but supported along the way, motivating each and every students of yours to do better. Not only being inspirational, but the strongest teachers to take on a bunch of crazy little students and teach and care for them. I AM so grateful for you, Ms.body and all of the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders are lucky to have you, even when we may not see it. I LOVEE YOU MS.BODYYYY and you deserve this award!! ???????????????? THE BEST TEACHERR!
In order to be a teacher, you have to have a calling and a tremendous amount of patience. To teach middle school is a calling from the highest and the patience of a saint. Ms. Body heard the call and jumped in with both feet. No one exemplifies relationship building with such ease as Jordan. Students who are trying to discover themselves and create their own boundaries have such a difficult time, but with her encouragement and push, her students develop into creative writers, leaders, and readers. She believes in her students, and they trust her. What more could one ask for in a teacher?
My first years as an educator started off as a colleague of Jordan and to say she was amazing would be an understatement. Her compassion for what she does is so refreshing. I have never met any student, parent, or colleague that didn’t love her. I often miss walking the same hallways as her but I know she is thriving well at her current school. She is deserving of all things great!

Ms. Body is an exceptional teacher whose passion for education and dedication to her students create an inspiring learning environment. She possesses a unique ability to break down complex concepts into easily understandable lessons, making even the most challenging subjects accessible and engaging. Her supportive nature fosters a sense of belonging and encourages students to express their thoughts freely. Beyond academics, Ms. Body takes the time to connect with her students personally, showing genuine interest in their lives and aspirations, which motivates them to strive for excellence. Her enthusiasm and commitment not only enhance our knowledge but also help cultivate a love for learning that will last a lifetime.
Ms. Body is more than just a teacher; she’s a true life changer. From the moment I stepped into her classroom, I felt a warm and welcoming energy that made learning not just a task, but an exciting journey. Her passion for teaching is evident in everything she does, from the way she prepares her lessons to the encouragement she gives each student.
Ms body was my teacher since 4th grade. She has helped me through all my years of middle school being my reading teacher. I appreciate her so much for everything she's done for me and my classmates. Now that I have to leave her I feel like everything will be boring. It won't be fun like she made it for us. She made us laugh, she hardly ever made us upset though. All the kids in my class love her and so do I. She's been nothing but generous, helpful, kind, caring, and respectful towards us and we try to show her the same. I think Ms.Body truly deserves this reward because nobody in the building could handle our class except for her from 4th grade all the way to 8th. Thank you Ms. Body for taking care of us and everyone else around us. Ms. Body is the best teacher and I thank her for the good impact she had had on my life.
Ms. Body is a fun teacher and makes me want to go to school. When I go to school she welcomes her peers and everyone around her feels happy.
ms body has been my teacher since 4th grade and every year ive improved therefore she is a life changer
Ms. body has been my reading teacher. She has helped me with my reading she has been one of the best teachers I had.
I first met Ms. Body in Blytheville, Arkansas, when I was in 6th grade. From the beginning, she was not just a teacher, but a source of unwavering support. Even after she left Blytheville, Ms. Body was always a phone call away, offering guidance and encouragement. When I was writing scholarship essays, she walked me through each step, giving me the confidence to pursue opportunities I never thought possible.
When I graduated high school and started college during the challenging time of COVID-19, I was unsure and overwhelmed. Yet, Ms. Body remained a constant source of support, always just a call away to provide advice and reassurance when I needed it most. She didn’t just act as a teacher but as a mentor who genuinely cared about my success and well-being.
My sophomore year in college, I struggled with depression and began to question my future. It was during this time that Ms. Body reached out to me, invited me to Chicago, and encouraged me to keep pushing forward. Her belief in me, even when I didn’t believe in myself, was one of the driving forces that kept me going. Her compassion and wisdom helped me navigate one of the most difficult periods in my life, and for that, I am forever grateful.
What began as a student-teacher relationship has now evolved into a genuine friendship. Ms. Body is not just a teacher; she is a life changer. She has touched my life in ways words can hardly express. Her unwavering support, guidance, and belief in me have made all the difference. I am the person I am today because of her, and I will always be thankful for the impact she has had on my life.
Ms.Body is not only an amazing teacher, but a great role model and mentor to her peers, colleagues and aspiring educators. She takes her time to effectively plan lessons that are relevant to her students, uses personal money to fund events and material and consistently goes out of her way to be a supportive colleague and leader. She deserves this because she changes lives in and out of the classroom!
