'24 Teacher Of The Year
Ariana Torres
Congratulations to Ms. Ariana, on becoming the 23-24 Teacher of the Year! Ms. Ariana's dedication to her students' learning and Shaping Academy are her biggest strengths. She embodies the work ethic and integrity that we value. She is always willing to help students, colleagues, and the administration. She is one of the first, if not the first, to volunteer to assist in our activities, such as our "Chili Cookoff." Her work on our social media pages and website allows our families to feel connected to their children while they entrust us with their academic development. Most importantly, Ms. Ariana has demonstrated tremendous growth over the 4 years we have had the pleasure of working with her. We hope to continue to help you grow into the teacher you are destined to be.
