🍎 Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! 🍎
Today, we’re proud to recognize Alda Torra, ESL Teacher and Department Head at North High School.
“Alda creates an inclusive and supportive classroom environment where all students feel valued and empowered to take risks with language,” said North High Principal Sam FanFan. “She is highly attuned to the diverse needs of her students and consistently adapts her approach to support both academic and social-emotional growth. Beyond her classroom, she is a trusted resource for colleagues, offering strategies, insights, and collaboration to better support multilingual learners across the building.”
Thank you, Ms. Torra for the care, dedication, and passion you bring to your students and school community each and every day!
