What Our Families are Saying

Ms. Houston has been the biggest inspiration for my 10-year-old daughter. As a grade school student, my daughter encountered bullying from her peers and has felt unloved and irrelevant by the treatment of previous teachers. The moment we walked into Ms. Houston’s classroom at Open House, you could feel and visually see the genuine love and compassion she has for her students, and this lasted the entire school year! My daughter looked forward to going to school every single day and if she knew Ms. Houston would be out, she didn’t want to go to school. My daughter has gone from reading on a 2nd grade level to reading on a 5th grade level. Her advancement has been amazing, and I know it’s because of the time, patience, and dedication Ms. Houston expresses to ALL of her students.

Hello, my experience with Ms. Houston has been wonderful.  I feel like she loves what she does.  She doesn’t do her job just for the check.  She really loves her students as if they were her own children. Ms. Houston came and picked my daughter up in the summertime and she let her spend the night with her family; that meant everything to us, for someone to care that much doing it off of payroll.  She is so real and real and such a rare person. I support everything that she does.  She is above wonderful, and the school system is missing out due to them being unable to retain her as an employee there.

The best teacher hands down! I want to switch so bad just to be part of your class again. Knowing my baby’s situation, I am very thankful for you. You were patient with my boy through many days when you could have given up on him; but you didn’t. You continued to help advocate for my baby. We will forever love you and appreciate you for that. Keep grinding, sis, and shinning to make the next mother and child feel the way you made me and my son feel.

God Bless You ❤️
