“On the last week of school, I was talking to the children about their results on an end of the year assessment test. Ryan was thrilled to see how well he did! I said, "Ryan I am so proud of you! You did great on your tests!" Ryan smiled a huge smile and said, "Mrs. Moorer, I know why I did so well! It is because I am smart! I am a genius!" "Yes you are Ryan, I really believe that you are!" I said with joy in my heart! This was the student who came into second grade saying he wasn't smart! He thought that he couldn't read and all the work was just too hard. What a transformation! Now, Ryan has his North Star path to follow and his SMART STAR! You changed Ryan's life forever! Thanks for all the good things that you do for all of us and especially all the "Ryan's" in our world!” -- From teacher Sally Moorer, V *** How to Order
