When a community celebrates an educator like Ms. Shaw, it’s a testament to her incredible impact! Teachers like her shape lives and inspire generations. We’re so proud to honor her legacy and pay it forward for her community! 💙
greatest teacher i ever had. that lady taught generations. taught us all chemistry and i never remember her using a book once, all from her knowledge. the GOAT
This lady changed my life. She taught me HOW to look at life and LOOK FOR solutions to achieve my goals. I am a 33-year educator because of your influence in my life.
I’m a 71-year-old RN. Retirement was not a good fit for me either. Miss Shaw has been Blessed with better health than I. In turn, she has Blessed so many. ❤. I entered nursing when not many men did. Miss Shaw entered CHEMISTRY when not many women did. She is a unicorn!!! ❤
I was a student at Northside High School from September 1977 to December 1979, but somehow I missed having Ms. Shaw as one of my teachers even though she'd been there since 1972. Now I see how badly I missed out. Frances Shaw and David Begnaud are *both* Louisiana treasures, and I am grateful to him, CBS and Canva for doing so much to recognize my alma mater and the most valuable woman in its faculty.
As a former educator in both public and private schools, in New Orleans, this is so special, just seeing a teacher like this, which is a gem. This is how our schools used to be pre-Katrina, and it is so touching seeing this. What a big salute to Ms. Shaw!! Love this!!
You know that you are a great teacher when former students return to honor you. Another testament to how great she is when she was happiest when the school received $100,000!
I wonder who noticed. She got the check for herself and the foundation and she smiled and was teary eyed. Then David announced the check for the school and she got lose 😂. To show her heart for the school ❤. Ms. Shaw you're a gem. You're going to be my role model. Congrats to you!🎉 Blessings!🙏❤
I was lucky enough to have Ms. Shaw as my chemistry teacher in my junior year at Northside. She’s stern and expects a lot from her students but you learn so much from her, not just about chemistry but life as well. Thank you for never giving up on me Ms. Shaw ❤️
negative news networks on either side made DJT possible. For 12 years now they are the platform for the most divisive voice America ever had. He and the news are equally responsible
I have new wrinkles from smiling and crying so much!!! One of the best stories I've heard in a long time. I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ this woman, and 80 where?!? She looks wonderful, and I'm sure that's a testament to a life well lived, filled with love and impact. 🗣️Protect Ms. Shaw at all costs!!!!
In a world where educators half her age are fed up, it’s refreshing to see her get the love and support from high schoolers. And the way she got excited because the school was receiving money all the while probably thinking about all the ways she could help her classroom babies with the money gifted to her. She indeed is deserving of the titles and accolades bestowed upon her.
That was my 1st thought when the personal gift was announced… I figured she already knew who she was going to help. Then it got better. I do hope that she does something special for herself. She’s an awesome lady.
Thanks so much for celebrating this amazing woman while she is still alive. Teachers deserve accolades and more. We need them now more than ever. Thanks Ms. Shaw!!
Thank YOU CBS for highlighting Ms. Shaw's contribution to Louisiana's students!!! LOUISIANA NEEDS THIS KIND OF ATTENTION!!! This is a win for public opinion about Louisiana's educational system. We have educated and experienced teachers laying their hearts on the line everyday in Louisiana for "our" children. Her recognition is a beacon of hope for young people who want to pursue a career in education. We need a new generation of teachers who are transformational like Ms. Shaw. Thank YOU Ms. Shaw...I salute you and appreciate your commitment to excellence in education!!
This was Absolutely Amazing! Thank you for honoring Ms. Shaw…& Thank You to Ms. F. Shaw, for your contribution to so many people. My family is from SW Louisiana (Lafayette, Carencro, New Iberia), so, the warmth and Love was palpable. ❤ Congratulations Queen Shaw ❤
This was inspiring and very motivating! It got me in tears at the end. I could tell Mrs. Shaw is a gem and has inspired and taught so many generations and still has the drive to share her wisdom. That was truly beautiful to see.
I'm crying tears of joy for Ms. Shaw !!! 😍 Blessings on Blessings 🙏🏾 He may not come when you want him but he's a on time God , Yes he is !!! Thanks to all involved Honoring this Queen!!🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you Ms. Shaw! Your example has motivated generations. Thank you Canva for the investment in the community and the educators who motivate the future.
My favorite teacher of all time. I took Chemistry with Ms. Shaw and she encouraged the students in every thing. Nobody was a failure in her class. Chemistry was hard but Ms. Shaw made it fun. I really love Ms. Shaw I wish I was there for the pep rally.
I really love seeing deserving people celebrated. You can tell she really loves her school and students, she danced for the donation to school more than she danced for her personal gain.❤❤❤❤
Wow…the enthusiasm for this teacher was amazing! And double wow that so much money that helped honor her was given out. The fact that had taught for SO many years, then retired, but the call to come back to teach came to her, she gave up retirement & teaching again at 80 yrs young. God Bless her.
To watch this poignant special and to understand, learn, and love da history and present(s) of Northside High School + da love students, staff, and Alma maters have for Ms. Shaw, really really brought me to tears. So many tears and so many feelings. And what was even more beautiful and showed Ms. Shaw’s spirit was when NHS received a check as well and she started dancing. Da Northside of Lafayette and Northside High School deserves this and SO MUCH MORE. Equitable reinvestments are necessary for communities that have historically faced financial discrimination and unstable infrastructures. GOD BLESS MS. SHAW & NORTHSIDE HIGH IN ABUNDANCE. Mo linm vou mô Lafayette 💜💚💛.
