Mrs.Cashion is such a wonderful teacher. She taught me when I was in 7th grade and till this day, she’s one of my favorite teachers ever. She’s overall a ray of sunshine and I’ve learned so much from her!

Jocelyn Garcia Posted over a year ago

Mrs. Cashion is by far one of the greatest teachers I’ve ever had. As a child it’s important to have someone to support you and someone you can go to, to talk about things. She was that person for me and always listened. Also, she’s an extravagant math teacher. From someone who doesn’t understand anything about math, she made it easy! Her way of teaching is just I-C-O-N-I-C. xx

Alfredo R Posted over a year ago

Ms. Cashion is absolutely outstanding, from giving extra support and help when I wasn't understanding a topic to giving compliments of good work. She shows that she really loves teaching, who wouldn't. Being someone who cant teach like she does is a gift like no other. She always finds a way to teach a topic she knows we can struggle with. She establishes this comfort that makes me feel unafraid of asking questions which makes it slot easier to understand a topic because I know I can always ask her for help. Overall she's a great math teacher!!

She looks out for our struggles and does anything in her power to make sure we fully understand it better. Not only is she just a teacher, she is a friend to each and every one of us. She not only listens to our intellectual struggles, but she also listens to our outside school problems. She gives the best of advice and will always look for ways she can help. Her kindness and goodwill has positively impacted all of us in a way words cannot completely describe. She is truly a goodnatured person and an example of dedication and hardwork. To say otherwise would be a complete lie.

Mrs. Cashion has done a phenomenal job turning my math-hating daughter, who thought she was horrible at math, into a confident math student who knows she can solve the problems in front of her. In addition to the attention she gives my daughter in class, she also supports her outside of school, attending any extra-curricular performances she can. My daughter feels supported and valued by all Mrs Cashion does.

Mrs. Cashion is an awesome teacher. She makes sure her students understand the material and finds fun and interactive ways to teach the material. She is a person you can talk to when you're feeling blue because she always sees the glass half full rather than the glass half empty. There has been so many times when I was upset and she could tell I was upset, so she would come ask me if I was okay and if she could help me in any way. Mrs. Cashion is amazing, smart, funny, and an exceptional teacher and human being. There are few people that deserve to win this award and she's definitely one of them!
