Leesa Savage – Kindergarten

  • My child absolutely loves you and your class, she loves coming to school and learning new things. I believe that a lot of this is due to having such an awesome teacher, thank you for all that you do for the kids.
  • My son loves Ms. Savage, she has been so wonderful <3

 


Caitlin Kelley – First Grade

  • Ms. Kelley has put so much effort into her lesson plans. Last week they learned about maps by exploring Disneyland, so my child came home and spent more time pouring over the map, and then wanted to explore more on Google Maps. I've seen the same in activities Ms. Kelley has prepared for math, writing, and science. She has helped my child to stretch and grow, without putting on additional pressure- something that has been so important for my kid to feel safe and have a great year. We're so impressed with all teachers who have been through it the last few years with very little support, but have still shown up for the children they teach.

 


Kelly Pollestad – Second Grade

  • She makes teaching come alive! She has a smile that is warm and inviting to all!
