Parent and Student Support
“‘I know you!’ I exclaimed happily when I ran into Mrs. Ramseur in 2004.
When I was a pregnant 14-year old in 1991, she was my eighth grade science teacher. That pleasant recollection and her warm openness helped us quickly want to continue getting together.
Our budding relationship resulted in me being her personal attendant through Easter Seals. But that’s just the beginning.
That baby in ’04, was then 13 and struggling in school. Mrs. Ramseur spent time getting to know my son in order to discover systems to help him keep his work in order and report to his teachers.
I became a part of the family; attending family functions. Mrs. Ramseur is my mentor/confidante; she has helped me navigate college, personal issues and goals for my future.”
