Board Salute - February 3, 2022
I just wanted to share the amazing experience with Ms. Jennifer, who drives my precious four-year-old, Maya, to school each day. She ALWAYS greets Maya by name and makes her feel comfortable and safe on the bus. Today she presented me with a bag for Maya to be opened when she gets home tomorrow. I saw her give another bag to another student's parent, so I'm sure she did this for each child on her bus. I peeked inside the bag, and there were seven items and a card inside. I have never seen anything like this in all my 34 years as an educator and parent! I am amazed and overwhelmed by Miss Jennifer's kindness. She goes out of her way for the students and parents. I wanted the district to know about this wonderful human being named Miss Jennifer! Thank you from a blessed parent!
