She's an extraordinary teacher. She always provides food and school
supplies for her students so they can have a safe, magical, memorable,
and transformational learning experience every day. She builds trust with
her students. I'm gonna cry. By fostering open communication, she
is a safe space for honest reflection that inspires her

new ideas. She's an amazing professional and even more amazing person.
