“Amanda taught my daughter for 1st and 2nd grade. She has always gone above and beyond when my daughter was falling behind she spent extra time with her to help her. She treats all the kids like they are her own. All of my kids still go back to her classroom anytime they have the chance. I have never seen a teacher with as much dedication as she has put in to her students, and all the kids adore her.”
