Music that Describes Staci
Staci Murillo was nominated by her colleague, Jessica Whitney.
Ms. Murillo is gentle, kind, and compassionate. She consistently nurtures each student when they need it, noticing when they may be off and reaching out as she sees fit. She strives every day to give the highest levels of academic teaching and SEL (social-emotional learning) engagement for every student. Mrs. Murillo goes above and beyond for her team, working to ensure everyone has everything they need.
"As a new teacher, I have asked Ms. Murillo an abundance of questions. She always responds with gentleness, a clear explanation for total understanding, and utmost kindness. I continue learning from her every day, even when she does not realize she is teaching me. Ms. Murillo is the kind of teacher who changes every child's life and outlook on it in the best of ways. She enhances the lives of everyone she works with. We are all blessed to know her and work with her," said Whitney.
