In our third and final installment of community shout-outs, we are sharing the remaining stories sent in by parents, students, community members and colleagues from across Quebec. These final messages serve as a powerful reminder of the lasting legacy left by those who work in our school system.
Mme Laferrière & Ms. Scuccimarri, LBPSB
From the bottom of our hearts, my wife and I would like to thank them for the care and dedication they show our son every day. We know he can face behavioural challenges and has ADD, and their patience and understanding do not go unnoticed. We are truly grateful for everything they do.
Hanada Madani, CQSB
Students are very lucky to have her as a math teacher and as a resource as well. The kids love her! She is awesome. She is always calm, helpful and adapts her teaching methods and explanations depending on the different needs of students. We need more teachers like you!
Bella Patel, EMSB
Thanks to you, teacher, I am enjoying learning English. Thank you so much!
Ms. Huss, SWLSB
The kindness and support for helping a Mom and son during a difficult time. She is a true leader!!! Thank you for helping and making this easy and smooth.
John Whittaker, NFSB
If you’re heading to Nova Career Center for welding, you gotta find John Whittaker. Best teacher I’ve ever had.
Karin & Anne, RSB
As a parent, you always try to give yourself 110% and it becomes natural. When your child is leaving your little bird nest called home, you often feel like you let them go and sometimes, you’re worried. When we met the teachers initially, we were so pleased to see such incredible individuals but we never expected them to be as caring as they would be toward our little boy. He’s very happy to be around the teachers and feels secure as much as he would be home. For our family, it was like hitting the jackpot and it brings us such confidence toward his education and wellbeing. Thank you for everything!
Ray Venables, LEARN Tutoring
Ray is incredibly patient and kind. He takes the time to make sure I understand everything.
Ms Sandra, LBPSB
Ms Sandra’s support has been monumental for our child’s happiness at school. We are forever grateful for her kind heart and warm spirit and strong leadership. Because of her, our child is more confident and better equipped to work through their big feelings. Thank you xo
Miss Genevieve, École trilingue Vision Rivière-du-Loup
We like to move it, move it, Miss Genevieve gets everyone moving in her active gym classes! Her Formula 1 scooter circuits bring energy, laughter and memorable moments to Phys Ed! Kinball is super funky too!
Leila Sabbegh, LEARN Tutoring
Leila is patient, cooperative and comprehensive. Thank you!
Ms. Murray & Mme Mercier, LBPSB
Ms. Murray & Mme Mercier are so wonderful with their students. They share little stories about their own lives and families and are so relatable and fun and positive. They provide such an amazing atmosphere and make 5th grade memorable, and also challenge their students to be creative and to be their best selves. All the different interesting projects they initiate really show that they believe in their students’ potential and have them thinking about their futures. They also teach that mistakes are a part of learning and improving. Furthermore they understand that school is not only about academics, but developing into good human beings and navigating pre-adolescence and social skills. They are gems and truly represent what an elementary teacher should be!
Ms. Iacobacci, SWLSB
Ms. Iacobacci was my youngest daughter’s preschool teacher, and I cannot express enough how deeply she impacted my daughter’s life. My daughter struggles with anxiety, and Ms. Iacobacci made it her mission to ensure she felt safe, loved, and truly cared for each and every day. Her patience, compassion, and gentle presence brought my daughter comfort and confidence when she needed it most. She truly is an angel, and there is a reason she is so deeply loved by all of her students. Any child and any family would be incredibly lucky to have her as a teacher.
Mrs. Maxwell, LBPSB
Mrs. Maxwell ensures our kids feel heard and valued while finding the time to communicate well with us, as parents, too. A kid who is happy to go to school every day – couldn’t ask for more!
Kathy Kovacs, LEARN Tutoring
Thank you for taking the time to help tutor my son in the evening. You make him feel very comfortable and are so patient and kind. He looks forward to each session.
Mme Crego, LEARN Tutoring
Mme Crego is an amazing educator! My daughter struggles with the curriculum and French language. Mme Crego is able to reach her and maintain her focus which is not an easy task! Yasmeen loves her and retains the information that Mme Crego always presents in a fun and enthusiastic manner! We don’t know what we would do without her ! Thank you so much for being so awesome and for all of your efforts and care! We adore you!
Marie-Claude Lemore & Vanessa Motter, LBPSB
Thank you for your caring and genuine approaches. Your resources have been very valuable and we appreciate you both!
Hardeep Bola, LEARN Tutoring
Mr. Bola shares funny jokes with me so I’m never nervous during our sessions. He makes learning feel fun and relaxed, and that helps me do my best.
My Son had Hardeep as a Science tutor for 2 years through LEARN Quebec. Hardeep helped him learn so much that he always looked forward to his Science tutoring sessions . He is very sad not to have Hardeep as a tutor anymore.
Mme Mercier, LBPSB
Always smiling and happy and always giving compliments to people.
Miranda Côté, LEARN Tutoring
I was only able to do a few minutes because I mistook the first day, but they were so kind, listening to my child and teaching me.
The stories we’ve shared over these three posts are just a snapshot of the amazing work happening in every classroom and hallway across Quebec. While we couldn’t feature every single message, the sentiment remains the same: our school staff are the backbone of our communities. To the teachers, professionals, and support staff in every corner of the province—thank you for your tireless dedication. You make a difference, this week and every week.
