“Most teachers are focused mainly on academics, which are important, but Ms.Holdaway- a 2nd grade teacher, is equally focused on the emotional intelligence of her students. She’s not only teaching our children math and spelling and such, she is also teaching them empathy, self-love, coping skills, and how to be loving and caring humans. The patience and understanding and caring with which she leads her class is inspiring and she deserves all the things!”
-Tito Livas
