Student Testimonials
"We LOVE Surrey, catch her playing Yee Haw with unsuspecting kids at a moment's notice. Just kidding. Surrey is a wonderful, kind, thoughtful human being who brings her whole self to education. It's clear that she is...great at connecting with students in a way that makes them feel comfortable and supported."
