A+ Teacher of the Week: Mrs. Weissman at Ignacio Conchos Elementary

Mrs. Weissman's husband David nominated her to be our teacher of the week.

The kind of teacher students remember with love for a lifetime. That's the way the husband of a first-grade teacher in South Phoenix described her and that's just part of the reason why he nominated her to be our 12 News A+ Teacher of the Week.

“I nominated you to be the 12 News A+ Teacher of the Week, because I think everybody needs to know how amazing you are,” said David Weissman.

“You’re kidding,” said his wife Lynn Weissman, first-grade teacher at Ignacio Conchos Elementary School.

“I’m totally serious,” he said.

“Aw! You nominated me?” she said.

“I did!” he said.

“That was so nice of you!”

“I love you,” he said.

"I love you," she said.

David tells 12 News Lynn is the A+ Teacher of his life! He says she’s an incredible force in her student’s lives and she’s been teaching for about 30 years.

“I love Mrs. Weissman a lot, because she would always help us if we would make mistakes in math or reading, take her time with us… she would also make math fun for us,” said Star Ceniceros, a former student.

“On Valentine’s Day, she comes home with more candy and more gifts that I could ever possibly give her,” Lynn’s husband said. “Some of them even call her Mommy!”

“I feel honored that my husband recognized me for all my hard work, but in turn, I couldn’t do this without everyone here… we really work together,” she said. “It’s really exciting to see them just take off during the year, learning how to read.”

“I hope they just enjoy a love for learning and that they get those really great foundational skills,” she added.

Congratulations Mrs. Weissman!
