Comments: “Haleigh always has a sunny attitude and a good work ethic. She is very determined and can do anything she sets her mind to! She brings so much life to the classroom. I absolutely love the way her eyes sparkle when she tells a story or talks about princesses! I will never forget the time she brought in Jelly Belly brand "Bean Boozled" jelly beans for the class. It's sort of a jelly bean Russian Roulette: the green ones might be apple...or BOOGER flavored. They were really quite a hit! She is very kind and considerate of others. She is a good friend to all! I've really enjoyed having Harleigh in my class this year!”
