• "Mr.N, You are the most amazing teacher in the world. For many reasons like being strict sometimes but still fun, another one being that you always seem to be calm. But in all you're the most awesome teacher I've ever had." - Tristian Grade 7 Student
• "I just had a meeting with Krista Ralph (SLP), and she was full of praise for your commitment to creating an inclusive classroom environment for Shayd. I shared that I was in your room earlier this week, where you guided students on how to communicate with Shayd using his POD book. The way you explained it, and made personal connections, was perfect. It was amazing to see you encouraging everyone to engage with him in this way.
  
  Your dedication to supporting both his educational and social needs is clear and inspiring! I hope you take a moment to recognize the impact you're making. Krista also mentioned that your thoughtful questions have sparked some ideas for her, in regard to supporting teachers!" - Shala H - CST
• "I wanted to take a moment to personally commend you for the outstanding way you engage with your students. It was truly inspiring to witness the rapport you’ve built with them, as well as the positive impact your interactions have had on their learning experience. Your ability to connect with them on a personal level while maintaining a professional and supportive environment is remarkable.
  
  It’s clear that you have fostered a space where students feel heard, valued, and motivated, and that speaks volumes about your dedication to their success and well-being. I wanted to share this Rave coming from a parent mindset and to make sure you know how much it’s appreciated. Thank you again for your hard work and commitment. It’s truly making a difference."
