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.

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.
