“Mrs. Ashby is an above-and-beyond teacher who has created a true safe haven in her Orchestra classroom at Stansbury Jr. High. Her room is a place where students feel welcomed, valued, and supported—not just musically, but emotionally and academically as well. She fosters a positive, inclusive environment where every child feels they belong, and she consistently goes out of her way to make sure her students have what they need to succeed. Her patience and understanding have made a tremendous difference for my challenging child; she sees potential where others might see frustration, offering gentle guidance, encouragement, and help whenever it’s needed. Through her dedication, compassion, and unwavering belief in her students, Ms. Ashby has created a space where kids can grow, thrive, and truly feel safe.”
