Message from the writer: “I’m a new student at Coral Glades, I switched schools midway through November and Ms. Anderson helped me situate a comfortable schedule for myself and made sure I was doing well in my classes during my first weeks and I’m grateful for it. She made sure I was going to enjoy the classes I had set and I’m glad she did cause I currently do enjoy my classes. Ms. Anderson has been nothing but genuine and caring to me and many other students here at Coral Glades, and we are all grateful.”
One quote that Ms. Anderson said she loved was, “If we all do one random act of kindness, we just might set the world in the right direction”
