Mrs. Wente has made such a meaningful impact on my son Alden during his kindergarten year. He absolutely lights up when he talks about her, and it’s clear how much he feels seen, supported, and encouraged in her classroom. When he’s not in school and we take fun pictures of him, he’s always saying, “Can you send that picture to Mrs. Wente?” Alden has a very active mind and can sometimes be a tricky kid to keep engaged, but Mrs. Wente meets him with patience, positivity, and genuine care. She creates a classroom environment that is fun while still helping kids grow and learn. We feel incredibly grateful that Alden has had a teacher who not only helps him learn, but truly understands and supports who he is.
