Below is the write-up submitted by a Greenbriar ES parent.

I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for everything Mrs. Hitchings and Mrs. Miller have done for my child. As a kindergartner with an IEP, my child's school experience is incredibly important to us, and their dedication has made all the difference. From the beginning, their efforts to make my child feel safe, heard, and valued have eased many of my worries as a parent. They have both been exceptional in explaining the details of his education and providing clarity on how they are supporting him. More importantly, the positive impact they've had on my son is truly remarkable. He comes home almost every day excited to share stories about his school experiences, the conversations he’s had with both of them, and all the new things he has learned. It’s heartwarming to see him so enthusiastic about going to school each morning, even waking up early with anticipation. Before joining GBE, school was not always his favorite place, so witnessing his newfound love for learning and school is a wonderful gift. I want to thank them both for their unwavering support, compassion, and the joy they bring to my child's educational journey. They have made a lasting impression on him and us, and for that, we are incredibly grateful.
