Matteo has become a standout at the Crossroads Academy. He has a great attitude, excellent attendance, and completes his work in a timely fashion.

Kids appreciate her kindness and humor, and many times ask for her when they need to talk to someone – they know she genuinely cares and is an excellent listener. Our Big Picture Middle School staff cannot say enough positive things about Becky, and if no one asks her for help, she is the first to offer when she sees any kind of need.

He is a never-ending source of positivity and laughter – it’s almost impossible to be in a bad mood around him.
