COMMENTS:
Catherine, It’s so nice to see you in your element. You just get kids and the way you
connect with your older students is amazing! Thank you for finding the right balance of
kind yet firm on your expectations and letting your kids know how much you care about
their success. Thank you for all you do! Saying we appreciate you is an
understatement. :) Erin Farr
