"In all my years, I have never had a teacher who cares so much, gives so much and refuses to accept anything less than the best for her students," said Bella Lavin Garcia, a very appreciative mother.
Morgan Nussdorfer doesn't know how to settle for less. It's simply not an option for her or her first-grade students at Olmos Elementary School. Garcia can give many examples of how Nussdorfer has given extra time to help her daughter, Aurora.
"Mrs. Nussdorfer has gone above and beyond with our child Aurora," said Garcia. "She has bent over backward, trying to find ways to make sure Aurora is successful. We messaged her early the other day regarding our daughter's struggles. She called us within 10 minutes and had a lengthy discussion and let us know the steps she would take to try and find answers and solutions. She called us back before 9 a.m. with a solid plan of action! When we were feeling defeated, she took the time to make sure we knew she was taking care of it all!"
Olmos prides itself on the service and care it shows its community. Service can come in many forms, through big or small gestures. Nussdorfer is known for going the extra mile, whether it's simply returning a parent's phone call or making an extra stop at a lemonade stand.
"This same teacher got up early on a Saturday morning to stop by my daughter's lemonade stand," said Garcia. "She has had to text us real-time while also teaching virtually. Seriously, she's a rock star! I'm so grateful for her, so grateful for you all at Olmos, and am so proud to be an Olmos Owl."
