The SoCal Honda Dealers honored 5 Southern California teachers, from San Pedro to Simi Valley, during Teacher Appreciation Week, May 6-10th. Based on each teacher’s unique strengths, recipients were gifted $5,000 worth of school supplies by the Helpful Guys during school assemblies and unexpected classroom visits. These deserving teachers received a wealth of helpful items including tablets, books, writing supplies and art materials.

Teachers like:

  • Ms. Alex Carrerra of Felton Elementary School – dedicating lunch hours and time after school to give struggling students extra attention.
  • Ms. Mariana Robles of Hawthorne Elementary – who created a unique curriculum that highlights the arts and sciences.
  • Ms. Ryan Rosuck of Sinaloa Middle School – beloved by her students for going above and beyond in teaching photography and yearbook class.
  • Mr. Dennis Hagen-Smith of Toluca Lake Elementary – known for his many fieldtrips to museums, science centers and cultural centers all over SoCal.
  • Mr. David Crowley of San Pedro High School – offering guidance and a safe refuge to his students in the GSA (Gay Straight Alliance) and also brought singing back to campus by overseeing the school’s Glee Club.
