We love Mrs. Clifford and she loves our children!
One mom said, "Mrs. Clifford deserves the walk of fame because she SEES our children. She sees so much more than test scores and head counts. She sees their effort, she encourages them to become their best selves, she promotes a growth mindset, she is calm, reassuring and BELIEVES in them. I am grateful that she plays to our children’s strengths and adjusts her classroom to be a place where all styles of learning are encouraged and applauded.
"She genuinely loves our children and they know it! I am forever grateful for the positive impact she has had on my 6th grade son. She is always looking for the good in him and all her students and that is what she finds! What an outstanding leader, teacher, and example to us all. She truly IS the good we all want to see in the world.
"BEST. TEACHER. EVER. I just wish there were more Mrs. Clifford’s in this world."
Another mom said, "Mrs. Clifford is so unique in that she truly cares about our kids. She can really see The talent that each child has to offer. She always is very aware and keen to what my child needs even having so many kids to teach. There was one particular incident where he was really sad and she emailed me later asking what was going on. That really made me feel like my child is under such great care and not just another student trying to pass the time . She has been incredibly kind to Knox and boosted his confidence in so many ways with his personality, friends, homework and always trying to look at the positive in everything she does for him and her class. She deserves this award over any other teacher hands down."
And yet another mom said, "Mrs. Clifford is an amazing teacher and it is very evident that she is passionate about teaching and cares a great deal for her students. My son has improved in all areas by leaps and bounds this year with Mrs. Clifford. Also, just recently for parent/teacher conferences, I wasn't able to sign into Skyward and my son let her know so Mrs. Clifford set up a time for me and sent a Google Meet so I didn't miss it. She's the best!!"
I personally cried when my son got Mrs. Clifford for this year, and when we came to back to school night and I told her how much it meant to me and my son, she got tears in her eyes too and said she had hoped he would be with her. She really is the very best.
