DECKER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY
My son’s Pre-K teacher, Mrs. Y, is truly wonderful. She is patient, kind, and very understanding with all of her students. My son is learning English, and thanks to her support, he feels confident and excited to learn every day. He absolutely loves being in her class. At the beginning of the school year, my son was very scared to go to Pre-K. It was a big change for him, but Mrs. Y made him feel safe, welcomed, and comfortable. Her warm and caring personality helped him build confidence and feel happy at school.
Mrs. Y is also very attentive and always listens to our concerns as parents. She takes the time to understand each child and truly cares about their growth. Because of the lessons and values she teaches in class, my son has become more patient and helpful at home as well. She is doing an amazing job preparing the children for kindergarten. We are very grateful that Mrs. Y is our son’s first teacher. She is making a big difference in his life, and we appreciate everything she does for him.
