“Ms. Peterson is one of the most coveted teachers at Trailside Elementary in Vineyard. All her students love her and all the student that didn’t get her wish they had. She is exceptional at her job, going above and beyond helping her students learn and achieve their goals all the while making it fun and enjoyable. Little did her students and us parents know that she had been working tirelessly at school and then heading home to give more of herself to take care of an ill husband and her young children. Sadly her husband passed away this year. With this traumatic event in her life she couldn’t skip a beat at school and didn’t. This teacher deserves the world like she give to the children of trailside in her classroom.”
