Ayreca Berthelot was nominated by Kallie Skinner, a parent of a student.

Before school started, Ms. Berthelot was already calling parents to get to know the children she would have in her class. She let the parents know about everything that would be going on as school started. This was a relief, in a way, as parents are not allowed inside the school due to COVID restrictions. She has found ways to incorporate what children were used to in Pre-K to transition them into a kindergarten setting. She reaches out to parents every time something is going on with their child, and she recognizes things that most would not pay attention to.

"I feel that she tries just as hard as I do to help my son achieve his best self and learn. She definitely makes learning fun for her students, and she truly cares for them. She has prizes for the class when they complete their homework and class work all week, as well as for when they pass their test. I am sure I will have more to rave about throughout the school year as we are only halfway through right now. I am so happy she is my son's teacher," said Skinner.
