Stephanie Brauer, Piney Orchard Elementary
“Ms. Brauer is such a great counselor for our kids! Every day- rain or shine- she is outside at drop-off greeting kids and parents. I have yet to see her say hello to a student whose name she doesn’t know. In a school of over 1,000 students, that’s incredible and speaks to her dedication. Additionally, she has been incredibly helpful throughout my daughters time at Piney, answering questions about sticky classroom situations and more. Growing up, my father was a school counselor so I understand how difficult the job can be. Ms. Brauer makes it look easy- and fun!”
Alex Snyder
Elizabeth Brady, Point Pleasant Elementary
“Ms. Brady you go above and beyond in your Pre-K classroom! You are shaping the future of the littlest minds and you are holding their little hearts everyday. I know my daughter is in good hands and I can see her growth every single day. Thank you!”

Jason Conti, Piney Orchard Elementary School
“Every summer our family waits for our student’s teacher assignments and each time, my biggest hope is that it’s one who will make my child comfortable and help them continue to be excited about learning. Mr. Conti has been a great fit for our third grader. Each day she comes home talking about their “class family” and feels like she is part of something special. It’s clear Mr. Conti is building up the students confidence and community, which is just as important as academics!”

Thank you for being Marley’s teacher. You have been a great advocate for her and helping her get the resources that she needs. I thank you for that.
