“Ms. Holdaway is the most professional, prepared, and dedicated teacher you will ever meet. She has taught children from Kindergarten through 4th grade, and is able to manage even the most difficult classes. She keeps her students interested and engaged because she expects their best and is able to help all her students reach their full potential. She makes learning fun, and often has her students dancing and singing to music as part of their day. She has been asked to mentor many other teachers through the years and also been asked to take on the students with the most challenging situations and has always done so successfully. If you were to look in the dictionary for a definition of what a teacher is you would find her.”
