Nashua Teacher Belanger Is 'Firm But Patient, Compassionate'

NASHUA, NH — Great teachers matter. In Nashua, we’re fortunate to have teachers like Cathy Belanger.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize teachers and show them how much they’re valued and appreciated.

This submission comes from Kristen Dion, who nominated Cathy Belanger of Nashua:

How do you know the teacher?

Sister

What does this person teach?

8th-grade math

Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

Cathy teaches a diverse, inner-city student body. She’s firm but patient, compassionate, and committed to her students’ success. She is dedicated to each student.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

If you have/ or had Mrs. Belanger as a teacher, the relationship doesn’t end when the school year does. She goes to students’ games and important events. She becomes a constant in some lives that otherwise don’t have many. She has gone to graduations, weddings, and more of former students.
