Kay Beck, Cedar Ridge Elementary

“Kay Beck is an angel. That’s the best word I can think of to describe her. An angel to her students and an angel to their parents. Kay is the teacher of a life skills class where she takes children that have various challenges and rather than focusing on what they can’t do, she sees them for their true potential, raising the bar and helping them to reach that potential.”
“In her classroom, there are no limits! Kay has created an environment of high expectations but also one full of love and respect and her students thrive! Her love for her students is incredible and makes all the difference.”
“My daughter has cerebral palsy and I wanted her to stay in a general education classroom but she was struggling to keep up academically. After meeting with Kay Beck and observing her classroom with her wonderful aides my mind was changed, and I have no regrets. My daughter amazes me everyday with what she is learning including being able to read and gain the confidence to be independent!”
“Thank you Kay Beck for your selfless service and most importantly your love for our students. ❤️”
