Shaneka Lopez
Second Grade
Richland Elementary
Mrs. Lopez was influential with my daughter. She would not speak much in class, even when she knew what to do. Mrs. Lopez supported her to bring out her personality. My daughter became more brave and began entering her artwork into contests. She won a contest where she was in a commercial. Mrs. Lopez coached her through the process and cheered her progess. Mrs. Lopez believed in her abilities and asked her to be one of the first student helpers for the school's yearbook. Whitney always remembers Mrs. Lopez for being one of her most supportive teachers.
