She won Best of Bethesda a few years back.

Not knocking the Ashburton counselor who sounds great, but don't believe those Best of awards. One teacher at our school got one and there was not a true thing in there except for maybe where she got her degree. The teacher was nominated by a parent who wanted to kiss up to her because her second child was entering K the following year and our school tends to place younger siblings with the teacher the older sibling had. In reality, that teacher was awful.

YES! We love her. I have no idea how she does it with all the kids that are there. You can tell she is extremely busy, but always makes time if there is an issue. Plus I don't think I have ever seen her in a bad mood. That's saying a lot for having to deal with parents like us, haha.
