I have the pleasure of volunteering in April's classroom. She is an amazing teacher and a great person to work with. I am constantly impressed with her skills, knowledge, dedication, kind heart, humor, leadership and passion for excellence. She is also very funny. April (aka Ms. Michaud) has the ability to make every student feel important and treats everyone with respect and understanding. I couldn't have asked for a better volunteer experience. Thank you April!
