This year, our family is celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week with renewed excitement.
Teachers are heroes and give kids like our son, Daniel, the support and structure he needs to succeed in virtual learning.
Daniel’s a kindergartener at Utah Virtual Academy (UTVA) and has thrived under the guidance of teachers like Charity Hinton.
We worried he would be distracted in a traditional brick-and-mortar academic environment, and Ms. Hinton is a big part of the reason his enrollment in virtual school has been so successful. She’s helped him stay focused and motivated, and encourages his eagerness to learn.
It’s such a great feeling to know your child is happy when he goes to school every day and truly enjoys learning.
We’re thankful for Ms. Hinton, and for the entire staff at UTVA. They truly care about each student and want to see them achieve their goals.
