TESTIMONIALS

Shannon Leversedge
Dear Ellie; Your note made me tear up! Such a thoughtful note that made me so happy to read. It truly shows how much you have helped Henley this year. It was such a HUGE transition for our 16 year old - from living at home to living away from home and moving to on-line school while starting a pre-professional ballet program. No small feat! Yet, you empowered her with tools to help make her day-day scheduling easier, you made math FUN and engaging by using real life analogies, and you believed in her which ultimately allowed her to be brave enough to believe in herself. Through your support, she has succeeded in finishing her year strong and proved she can accomplish anything she sets her mind to. Your personal relationship with ballet allowed you to lead with empathy and understanding with regards to her injury this fall. This ultimately got her through a very tough time after just moving away from home. Our family is eternally grateful. You lead with kindness, grace and optimism. And that is exactly what Henley needed most during a very trying year. Thank you, Ellie!!
