She has been so great with my son, and all the things he has learned have amazed me. She keeps me well informed and is always sending pictures and messages on remind about their day. There was one Monday morning where I personally felt defeated from the Monday morning typical blues. I sent her a message confirming I would be bringing his field trip money. She said thanks and then went on to tell me I was an incredible mother. That moment of kindness brought me to tears. We all have our days, and little did she know, she made the greatest impact in turning my whole day around. She is a remarkable teacher and a beautiful soul. Thank you so much, Mrs. Holt for all that you do. " --Parent
