Emily Breviglia was nominated by the parent of a student, Alma Ayala.
Ms. Breviglia is an outstanding educator specializing in early literacy, holding a Master's degree in Education from SMU. Her passion for reading and phonics is evident in the high expectations she sets for her students. She adheres to the school curriculum and fosters engagement, ensuring that each child can thrive and achieve their personal best by monitoring their performance and addressing their individual needs.
Beyond the classroom, she has played a significant role on the Lighthouse Team, promoting the 'Leader in Me' program throughout the school, and has served as the grade-level chair for George H. W. Bush Elementary. From the beginning of the school year, Ms. Breviglia stands out through her eagerness and enthusiasm. She welcomes every parent and student with a genuine excitement that sets the tone for a positive and supportive classroom environment.
Throughout the year, she consistently creates opportunities for students to shine. By recognizing exemplary work with weekly rewards, she encourages academic excellence and celebrates effort. This work continues until the very last day of school. Each child receives a personal certificate, making them feel proud and recognizing their achievements in a meaningful way.
One of the many things that makes her special is how she makes every student feel seen and valued. She celebrates each student's birthday with classroom parties, going the extra mile to ensure that even "summer babies" are included in the fun before the school year ends. These thoughtful gestures demonstrate her genuine care for each student, extending beyond their academic performance.
Her passion extends beyond the classroom, as she builds strong relationships with parents through consistent communication. She works closely with families by creating a sense of community that brings parents together, leading to social opportunities for the children outside of school. She truly makes a community in a year.
Ms. Breviglia dedicates time and effort to crafting personalized yearbooks that feature classroom memories, as well as each student's growth and accomplishments. It's a beautiful and thoughtful gift that students can treasure for years to come.
"Ms. Breviglia's dedication and commitment support academic success and nurture students' confidence and personal development," said Ayala.

She is the best! Ms. B is My mentor and what an honor to be under her wing! She is inspiring, the way she handles situations, curriculum, every angle it’s beyond inspirational to me. It’s a privilege and great example we have here at Bush. Not only as a mentor but a great leader, what Bush stands for. She sees every child, she is the biggest cheerleader behind every student! Her positive energy, her enthusiasm it’s a honor to have her in first grade team!
You have been a sweetheart to our babies, first grade has felt like a breeze with you! Thank you for your dedication in teaching. We need more like YOU.
Ms. Breviglia is an amazing teacher!! I can actually see the passion she has for teaching! She is absolutely the best and I’m glad that she is my sons teacher!!
Ms. Breviglia is an awesome educator! She is a passionate teacher and goes above and beyond for her students every day.
Ms. Breviglia is an exceptional teacher and a personal inspiration of mine. This is our second year working together, and I have learned so much from her and geniunely look up to her. Her remarkable positive energy and enthusiasm are evident not only inside the class but also throughout the whole school community. She is always eager to help you with anything you may need. I am so proud to have her as a team member and continue to learn from the best.
Ms. Breviglia is a great person. Very blessed my daughter got a great teacher/role model.
Emily Breviglia embodies the very qualities we hope to see in an outstanding teacher. She began her career in education unsure whether teaching was truly her path, but it didn’t take long for the inspiration she found in young children to guide her forward. Their curiosity, energy, and honesty sparked something in her and that has grown into the remarkable educator she is today.
From the stories she has told me, I know that Emily has chosen to teach in a classroom where she doesn’t have access to every new material or resource, Classroom pictures tell the story that she never lets that limit her students’ experiences. Instead, she relies on creativity, resourcefulness, and imagination, transforming what she does have into meaningful learning opportunities. Where others might see limits, Emily sees possibilities.
I know that she meets each day with openness, serving as a steady constant in her students’ lives. Her advocacy shows in the way she listens, responds, and shows up—always ready to give her best. Emily takes deep pride in the moments when she can spark joy and curiosity, pairing learning with laughter and helping her students feel seen, safe, and supported. I knew this when she told me about the tradition she has for birthday celebrations.
Emily is a fierce teacher—not in volume or intensity, but in her unwavering dedication to teaching what matters and ensuring her students grow in every way they can. She pours herself into her work, and every child she teaches leaves an imprint on her heart. She carries them with her, honoring their stories and celebrating their progress long after they leave her classroom.
These are the traits we want in our teachers: passion, resilience, creativity, compassion, and a heart that stays open. Emily Breviglia reflects all of them, making her an exceptional and deeply deserving nominee for this honor.
Ms. Breviglia is a excellent teacher. She does her job with the heart. I am so happy she teaches my child. Thank you so much Ms Breviglia
We are truly grateful for my son’s first-grade teacher Ms Breviglia. Her wonderful energy, genuine care, and attentive approach make a remarkable difference every day. We feel very lucky to have her, and my son goes to school with excitement because of her. We appreciate her dedication and the positive impact she has on his learning and confidence. Thank you for being such an inspiring teacher!
I have seen firsthand the dedication, care, and responsibility Emily shows for her students. From the time she spends during the summer preparing her classroom, to being there for the kids each and every day and not only being a teacher, but a friend and role model, to helping out colleagues and being there for them, she SHINES! What she does is incredibly impressive and admirable and I’m beyond proud.
Thank you for creating a classroom where my child Ayaan and every child feels included, supported, and confident. Your compassion and dedication has made such a difference in such a short time in his learning journey, we are truly grateful.
Ms. Breviglia is so kind of teacher that goes on and beyond for my daughter. From day one having birthday gifts for her to now my child calling her teacher her bestie. Ms. breviglia also is great at keeping you up to date with what’s going on with your child and communicates things to parents. Great teacher all around and me and my child enjoy her a lot!!!
Absolutely best!! Words can’t even explain how grateful we are to have her this year.
Ms. Breviglia is such a wonderful caring soul. I’m so happy my son Marxel got to experience having her as his teacher. The way she cares for each and every single one of her students is just amazing. Rather it’s giving every one their own award for their accomplishments throughout the year, or throwing a special birthday party for each of the kiddos. She’s just great overall. My son was extremely sad she isn’t going to be his teacher anymore, but just knowing he’s still able to see her this year, is just heartwarming. That itself speaks wonders. Congratulations, Ms. Breviglia, you deserve it!
