💬 Read what one colleague had to say about Kate:
“She knows each of her students as individuals and uses that knowledge to help every student grow. Mrs. Lefeber sets high expectations for all learners, consistently encouraging students to challenge themselves and believe in their abilities. At the same time, she provides support, guidance, and an understanding of what a student needs to reach those high expectations. Because of her dedication and commitment to meeting students where they are, and giving them the tools to help them go to the next level, Mrs. Lefeber makes a meaningful and lasting impact on student success and learning.”
