Mrs. Breheny and Mrs. Borner were recognized by the family of Stephanie and Nicole Z. Stephanie and Nicole’s family said, “Mrs. Borner and Mrs. Breheny have been two of the kindest and loving people to both my girls when their father was sick and when he passed away. Their kindness and warmth are a big part of the reason my girls continued to want to go to school at a time when they could have easily shut down.” Stephanie and Nicole’s mom said, “There are absolutely no words to adequately thank both of you for how you treated my girls (and me) during our most difficult time in life. There is no handbook for this, and yet you ladies seem to have mastered it with grace and love. You have made a huge impact in our lives, and I am forever grateful.” Thank you, Mrs. Breheny and Mrs. Borner! #attitudeofgratitude #mwfam ♥️💜

Mrs. Beers of Central Valley was recognized by the family of Ethan Q.

But Mrs. Beers was able to help us get through those difficult times. Also, Ethan understands his lessons so well, especially with math, that he doesn’t have to ask my assistance when doing his homework. We are very impressed. That speaks to the way Mrs. Beers teaches the lessons. We appreciate her a lot!” Ethan Q.’s family’s message, “Thank you Mrs. Beers for making our lives easier, especially with not doing homework assignments with Ethan, because he can manage them well on his own. Thank you for attending one of Ethan’s CYO basketball games, it meant a lot to him and his classmates!” 🙂Thank you, Mrs. Beers! #attitudeofgratitude #mwfam 💜

Mrs. Breheny of Central Valley was recognized by the family of Willa S. Willa S.’s family said, “Mrs. Breheny has changed Willa’s school experience. She has helped her come out of her shell and be confident in her abilities. The way she teaches math, has taken away Willa’s fear of the subject. The “no homework” policy has changed our home life and Willa has been reading more books this year than ever before without the homework pressure. We are so grateful!” Willa’s family’s message to Mrs. Breheny, “We are endlessly grateful to you for teaching Willa that math isn’t scary and for making her understand things she has not been able to comprehend before. Willa has always been shy and reserved and has truly come out of her shell this year. She has read so many books this year, thanks to the no homework policy. We are so happy and grateful to you!!!!!” Thank you, Mrs. Breheny! #attitudeofgratitude #mwfam 📚🤗
