Teacher is not her job, or profession, but her passion. She pours her heart and soul in to her students and her work. This is true when she teaching new comer students or ANY student.
Ms. Varela deserves all the love and recognition, she loves everyone, and in this school district, great teachers are often overlooked and unappreciated. She has dedicated nineteen years of her life to educating children in an urban environment plagued with drugs and violence. This school is located in an area where teachers refused to work. Please select Ms. Varela, we love her!!!!!!
I have had the pleasure of working with and knowing Ms. Varela for the past 3 years, and in that time that I have worked with her I have admired her patience with students most of all. The strongest asset Ms. Varela possesses is her willingness to go the extra mile. We once had a student who had been assaulted outside of school the student confided in her what happened to them, and immediately Ms. Varela went into action, calling school supports, other staff and the principal to rally around this student in protection and support. When I saw her advocate for a student the same way a mother would for their child I knew at that moment how amazing she really is. To top it off and go the extra mile Ms. Varela gave the student a ride home everyday for a month until they felt safe again to travel with other students like they had been before the incident. The nurture and care that Ms. Varela provides students is evident in many more inspiring situations other than the one I shared above, and for that she should be chosen as the recipient of this great Life Changer of the Year Award.
This lady is literally a life-changer. She is the most incredible teacher I have every known. Any child who happens to land in this country and is scheduled into Ms. Varela's class struck gold. I know that most if not all the students in Ms. Varela's class are far from being lucky, having experienced so much trauma in their young lives but for many this class is their home. Ms. Varela wraps her arms around each and every child not only providing love, safety and a sense of being very important but also providing a first class education. I cannot admire this woman more. She is a true angel
I work with Ms. Varela every day, and every day I am in AWE of the love, patience, and incredible skill she brings to teaching her students. She inspires and challenges everyone around her to dream bigger and be better. I cannot imagine the school without her!
The engagement and care that Ms. Varela has with her students is inspiring and marvelous. She participates fully when her class practices mindfulness! A true leader indeed. We love you Ms. Varela!

Ms. Varela is an incredible teacher and mentor to her students. She plans with each individual student in mind, and she goes above and beyond with engaging her students in their language development. She is an all-around rockstar and inspiration to every student, teacher, and staff member at our school. We love her!!!!
Ms. Varela is a true life changer. She works with Newcomer students with varying backgrounds of English and education levels. They all feel welcomed in her class and are all achieving at high levels because she is able to differentiate to each of them. Ms. Varela is also a great colleague she is always willing to help new teachers plan lessons, help veteran teachers differentiate, and just be there for everyone in the whole school.
Ms. Varela is the best partner teacher I could hope for! She builds a loving and collaborative culture among her students through home visits, nacho parties, restorative justice circles, and more. She taught me how to differentiate instruction for English Learners of all levels and creates personalized curriculum for her many students who have little experience with formal education. Ms. Varela is like a second mom to me and to many of her students, but also is one of my closest friends. I can't imagine teaching without her and there's no one more deserving of this award.
Ms. Varela is an amazing educator with a wealth of knowledge. She creates the most wonderfully interactive units. I learn so much from her!
Ms. Varela is an amazing human being and educator. She provides a safe learning environment for all her students. Ms. Varela goes above and beyond to ensure that each student has their needs met, not only in the classroom, but at home, ensuring that their basic needs are also met. She is passionate about supporting our students and staff alike. Frick Impact Academy is so lucky to have her. Thank you, Ms. Varela for your hard work and dedication to making school and your classroom a sanctuary for everyone around you! I appreciate you and all that you do!
Ms. Elsa Varela,
Is a teacher that has commitment like non other. She never misses a day of work, and hasn't missed one in years. Her students love her sooo much, as she treats each of them as if they were her very own. Her students learn a new language in rocket speed. The children come here knowing no English, and sometimes even no Spanish, and in months you can already see the difference in their confidence and how quickly they grasp her content. She is beyond amazing and such a blessing for the world to have a teacher like Ms. Varela!
