    Testimonials

    "I signed up for this course because it sounded informative, helpful, and useful in my job. I never thought that I would be down-loading so many materials to use with students and to share with staff. Just last week our Hispanic Outreach Worker emailed to request resources to better serve our Latino families. I invited her to come on down and visit with me! I have also shared resources from this course with other district counselors. They have been most appreciative. I have even gained a few new lesson plans and some new strategies on how we can work towards having an even better impact on our students. Overall, this course helped me see just how much our community, our school, really does offer our students and their families. I can't wait for the summer break, but I also can't wait for the fall!" L. Pfister, Hillsboro School District
