Thankful for Visions Unlimited
This
year marks the 10th anniversary of Visions Unlimited Academy! I want to
thank all the teachers, volunteers and staff for doing such a great job
in caring for and educating my children. I have been a home-schooling
mother for 18 years. Last year my husband and I decided to place five
of our children in a charter school. I was a bit anxious and with much
trepidation I called the school office to set up an appointment for an
interview. I visited with Richard Valentine (the founder and school
principal) and Gretchen Liebe. They answered all our questions
professionally and with compassion. They put our minds at ease about
our many concerns. I was worried that my children would not be able to
adjust to a public school classroom setting, or that they may receive
criticism or teasing for being behind academically. I was concerned
that my very over-active 5-year-old James would not be able to settle
down in a classroom. I was concerned that our family's beliefs and
values would not be understood or supported. I was so very pleasantly
surprised and very pleased with the results of placing my children in
Visions. My children have thrived at Visions. My two children who were
behind in their scholastics were caught up to the appropriate grade
level by the end of the year. My 5-year-old was expertly handled by his
then teacher, Windy Parman. I have been amazed at the level of
dedication and hard work that I have seen from Ms. Toi Bowen Smith, Ms.
Sandra Cornejo, Ms. Willow Hoaglund and last year Ms. Windy Parman,
whom we miss because she moved away to Tennessee. You ladies deserve
all the praise; you have all impressed me immensely.
Thank you Visions for being a blessing to our family.

I hope people at Visions read this, because school employees rarely get the kind of feedback that lets them know how appreciated and thankful parents are for the remarkable service and dedication ordinary teachers provide as a normal part of their everyday work day. The world is full of needs that teachers take care of. Amazing. "
