Congratulations, Christy Whitelaw! A BIG THANK YOU has come your way through the "Learn by Heart" campaign.
"My son had the pleasure of having Mrs. Whitelaw as his y5's teacher for the 2021-22 school year. Over the course of the school year our son grew as a learner, a friend, a leader and person because of Mrs. Whitelaw's dedication and partnership with our family. Her dedication continued on throughout the summer where she planned two outings for the class to get together and reconnect. This is a true representation of commitment, dedication and what it means to be a teacher. When we drove away from the last outing my son said, "Mrs. Whitelaw sure loves me!" My reply, "She sure does, Buddy, she loves all of you!" Hats off to Mrs. Whitelaw, you are beyond appreciated!"

Congratulations, Andrea Wheeler! A BIG THANK YOU has come your way through the "Learn by Heart" campaign.
"She has helped my son, nephew, and best friend's son so many times in so many different ways! She could never be replaced in those three boys eyes! My son even gave her a cupcake that I was supposed to get for his birthday -- I was so proud of him for liking her so much that he gave it to her. She makes him smile and laugh when he's mad or sad. My daughter really likes her as well. She's very shy and quiet, so for her to come outta her shell is a good thing."
