We are so grateful for the kindness and compassion shown by our amazing kindergarten paraprofessional, Ms. Abby. When a student was in need, she quietly stepped in and brought in what they needed to ensure the child was comfortable and ready to learn. Her thoughtful gesture made a big difference and truly reflects the caring environment we strive for every day. Thank you for going above and beyond!
