“Mrs Abbey is an absolutely amazing teacher! My daughter has autism and this is her first year transitioning to a general education class. Mrs Abbey has done a phenomenal job at helping her adjust to a typical classroom. She goes above and beyond as she tries to find new ways to help my daughter which often takes a little creativity and a lot of patience. She’s been fabulous to communicate with us often so we can work together to help my daughter reach her potential. All of this while juggling a classroom full of children with varying needs and abilities. She loves her students and it shows as she does what she can to help each one be successful. We are so grateful to Mrs Abbey and all she has done for us this year and definitely think she should be celebrated!”
