Imagine a quiet little boy at age 3, unsure of himself and unable to express himself with speech. While in an Early Childhood Intervention program, it was recommended that little Remington start attending preschool at Holbrook Elementary. Imagine his nervous parents, sending him into school, without him being able to communicate with words! We never […]

I have listened to stories on KSL radio for years and felt that I needed to share the experience my twin daughters are having with a math teacher at Viewmont High School in Davis County. Last year, my daughters were taking an Algebra 2 class as sophomores. Their teacher was Ms. Lisa Cook. During the […]

Mrs. Hartvigsen is a great teacher that believes in her students. When I was a sophomore I had English 10 with Mrs. Hartvigsen, I wasn’t what you call the most avid student when it came to English. I was always the kind of student that had tons of energy but never used it. Mrs. Hartvigsen […]

As a parent to a first grade student I have been blown away from the support that Mrs. Bremer gives not only my child but me as a parent. My child has a seizure disorder that despite many different drug trials we were unable to get under control by the time school started in August. […]

Our daughter, Emma, started kindergarten this last fall. She is very shy and will not talk to other people. She even takes time to warm up to grandparents that live out of town. It took her 9 months to start talking to her Primary teacher, so we knew that going in to kindergarten was going […]

Emily taught children from 2 and a half to 3 years old who were in some way delayed physically or developmentally. She helped some kids take their first steps and some say their first words. […]
