Silvia Cuellar was nominated by Bryant Jean Baptiste, a member of the community.
Mr. Baptiste put together a fantastic video nomination below.
Mrs. Cuellar is an awesome fifth grade teacher who not only feeds the minds of students but meets the needs of the whole child. She goes out of her way to ensure students basic needs are met in order for them to have an optimal educational experience. Students who have come through her classroom are not forgotten once they leave. I have witnessed her barreling down the hallway with her arms filled with much needed supplies, clothes, and other items that were not for her current students but other students she's previously taught. This educator knows the value of making sure our children have their needs met and on top of that she teaches like her hairs on fire!
Thank you Cuellar for all that you do for kids:)
Mrs. Cuellar is an extremely effective teacher. Her ability to differentiate her instruction benefits all students. The skills that Mrs. Cuellar brings to the classroom touches each student in a special way for example working with students with English as a second language, as well as, students with disabilities. Mrs. Cuellar is very deserving of this recognition.
Silvia is a phenomenal fifth grade teacher. Her background allows her to create a strong environment for all learners. Way to go Silvia, proud to work with you!
Silvia is an inspiration to her students and her colleagues. She is always going the extra mile to ensure her students feel supported in their education. She is still in contact with many students from years ago proving that when you make an impact, it lasts forever. You are a life change!!!
I have had the privilege of working with Silvia for many years. Her dedication to helping all students is ever-present. She exhibits an incredible amount of patience and empathy with all of her students.
Congratulations Silvia,
Much deserved recognition for your dedication to the students at Fruitland Park Elementary and community as a whole. Very proud of you!
I have had the pleaeure of working with Silvia for the past 15 years. It is amazing to sit in her classroom and see how she interacts with her students and how they respond to her. She is an Amazing teacher who truly cares about her students. She gives her students the structure that is needed for a productive learning enviornment. I think that Silvia has been a "Lifechanger" to many students that have come through her class. There is not a teacher more deserving of this recognition.
Respect and Relationships
Mrs. Cuellar treats every student with respect, earning their respect in return. Her fifth grade students often return to visit and volunteer during their high school years. The relationships she builds during fifth grade continue beyond Fruitland Park Elementary.
Mrs. Cuellar’s dedication to her past and present students is inspiring. She has a positive attitude in all she does.
Such an amazing teacher and person overall!??????
I am so happy to see Mrs. Cuellar is finally nominated. She made a great in change my nephews life several years back. This is how it all came about: He was the new kid in the 5th grade from Miami. Not knowing anyone in the area he had low self esteem, always ready defend himself by being emotionally unavailable and also thought he didn't fit in. Mrs. Cuellar being from Miami understood exactly what he was going thru, she was able to connect with him instantly. Life change: He became attentive at school and at home. His self belief went thru the roof and was able to make friends or be friendly to anyone in need of one. He is now in high school taking honors classes, playing multiple team sports, and exudes self confidence. I honestly believe that Mrs. Cuellar was his lifechanger. I thank the Lord every night for putting her into his life. Thank you again, Mrs. Cuellar. I wish you the best!
My son was blessed to have Silvia Cuellar as his 5th grade teacher. The impact she made on my son is everlasting!!. As a high school student, her support and teachings still echo in his education. Mrs.Cuellar definetly has a gold standard in education that all teachers should aim to achieve.

Mrs. Cuellar was one of the women I looked up to when I was in 5th grade which I would consider a really important part of any adolescent’s life. She was always a positive influence and an amazing teacher who always put out a helping hand.
Great teacher and all around genuine person.
Mrs. Cuellar was my son's 5th grade teacher. She supported him through his learning challenges and prepared him for the rigor of middle school. She was always his champion praising all of his efforts and making sure he knew he could count on her for a smile and kind word. She is a lifechanger for many students. I know she was very special to my son.

Silvia is a fantastic teacher who consistently moves students forward academically, socially, and emotionally. I had the privilege to supervise her in an elementary school setting where her students blossomed under her care. She is terrific by any imaginable criteria. Each year she provides a safe and encouraging classroom environment. She provides the structure and support that insure academic progress. Her students respect and love her for it.
I love her!! she’s such a role model
Mrs. Cuellar is more then just a teacher to her students. She makes sure they have life skills and wants them to understand compassion for everyone and everything. She is a Lifechanger for so many children and animals.
