Kayden
"You are the teacher that had the biggest impact on my life out of all teachers I've ever had...the writing in rice, sand, and shaving cream was one of the most fun and memorable things you did with us. Thank you so much for getting me able to deal with dyslexia much better. If it wasn't for you I would still be struggling with dyslexia like I use to."
