Music that Describes Merrie
Merrie Meiselman was nominated by Flor Cruz, a foster grandparent.
Ms. Meiselman is an outstanding professional in the educational field. Not only does she excel in her teaching abilities and with reaching the desire of her students to do better, but she also helps develop students' emotional and behavioral attitudes. She cares for the comfort and safety of her students, trying to show them how to reach their goals and nurture their needs at the same time. She has excellent performance at the professional level, and was completing her Masters Degree at the time of her nomination, all while giving her all in the classroom by going beyond her duties. The children under her care trust her completely and rely on her for all their needs. She goes the long mile.
"As a foster grandparent under her guidance, I have learned that teaching goes farther than just standing in the classroom and providing a lesson. She is a wonderful and caring person," said Cruz.
