A story of appreciation for Ms. Lisa Donnelly, Meade Heights Elementary School, from:
Irene Albright, an AACPS: Parent, Meade Heights Elementary School
Ms. Lisa Donnelly is one of the most caring, loving, and genuine individuals I have ever met. My son is in her morning ECI class. When my son began attending ECI he was struggling with many obstacles other children seem to naturally resolve. Ms. Donnelly realized immediately my son needed love, understanding, and acceptance. He needed to be pushed and challenged. He needed to be reassured and praised. He needed humor and social guidance. My son needed time and space to be himself. He needed patience and (someone other than his mother) to believe in him…to know he was capable of overcoming EVERY obstacle put in front of him. HE NEEDED MS. DONNELLY! She has changed my son’s life in a way I never thought possible. He is able to communicate clearer, regulate his emotions better, and has more friends than I can count. He can articulate his day and the pure joy he has going to school to see his teacher, Ms. Lisa! Thank you Ms. Donnelly for all you do and pouring your whole heart into each and every student!
