🎊 Please join us in congratulating the February STAR Teacher of the Month, Mr. Gabriel Rivera, SPED Teacher from Cade Middle School! 🎊
Mr. Rivera desires the best for all students and is always willing to assist; he often skips his lunch to help students in different areas to ensure that every student can achieve success! 👩🎓👨🎓
When a teacher is out for the day, he walks in with a cheerful attitude and without hesitation, begins working with the students.
Thank you, Mr. Gabriel Rivera for all you do for VISD students!

Mr. Billy Bud has truly brightened the lives of so many around him as he transports our students safely to and from school. The students love that he put twinkle stars on the ceiling of his bus and how he greets them all with a warm smile and a high five. 🚖
Thank you, Mr. Billy Bud for letting your light shine! 💡
