She is always lending a hand to the kiddos, and you can definitely tell they love having her in our room. Whenever she steps out to help another class, the kids instantly ask where she’s going because they miss her right away! I especially appreciated her joining us on our first field trip. Her support truly helps our classroom run smoothly."
Thank you Cindy for everything you do for our school!
