Ryan Boland was nominated by Rachelle Reyes, the parent of a student.
"My son was lucky enough to finally be able to switch teachers halfway through the pandemic. Mr. Boland made sure my son didn't fall behind by reaching out to us and listening to us," said Reyes. "He didn't give up on any of his students and made my child start enjoying school, even on Zoom."
