Over the past 10 years, I have witnessed her (Elisabeth) consistent compassion for our community that has been contagious for many of our staff members.

She (Elisabeth) has proven to be a dedicated parent and community member who strives for excellence and advocates for students with exceptional needs.

Not only is Elisabeth hardworking, ethical, detail oriented, and a critical thinker, she is always looking out for the best interest of the organization and holds the highest level of integrity.

She (Elisabeth) is always eager to read, research, analyze and gain knowledge and perspective on issues, tasks, projects, and philosophies that she encounters. She is an amazing listener, a deep thinker and she exhibits a high level of skill when it comes to critical thinking.

Mrs. Armijo is one of the most positive and influential teachers in my son’s life. My son’s self-esteem and education has grown so much since working with Mrs, Armijo. Speaking to other parents of children in her class I know that all of the kids love her and “TRUST” her with their feelings and troubles.

You (Elisabeth) have touched our lives in such a wonderful and special way. You give those children a safe and positive environment and we are so grateful to have met you.

Her greatest strengths are her compassion for those less fortunate (especially children with learning differences), her choice to always use tact (talking after careful thinking) when communicating, her integrity to her morals and principles, and her unwavering commitment to doing a job well. Another strength is her ability to recognize a need, find the resources to fill that need, network the necessary people, and benefit everyone involved. In the process of all of that, she calls out the best in others and encourages them along the way. She serves tirelessly and with great passion.

I want to thank you (Steve) and Mrs. Armijo for everything that you guys do for the kids; you’re both amazing people. You guys are the kind of persons that special education parents want their kids to be around.

Thank you Mrs. Armijo for everything. My son (Student) has been doing amazing and I know you are a great teacher to him. He always expresses his appreciation for you.

She (Elisabeth) jumped right in and began using her incredible skills of organization, recruiting, training and leadership to build the volunteer team and create a top notch children’s program for the 200 kids and 40+ volunteers in her care. Throughout her time in the role, she was highly efficient, responsible, communicative, and encouraging of her co-workers, volunteers, kids and parents. Her demeanor in dealing with upset parents is astounding, as she is able to communicate with a grace and patience, unlike many other people that I’ve met.
