"It's so nice meeting you this year. It's like that you're the bless that god have sent me through my music journey. During my ups & downs, you're always so supportive and have faith in me. I'll always be grateful for your recognition of my dreams & my vision and even that I just started as a rookie you're here for me through every steps. You're beyond teacher. You're my friend & mentor through my life and I'll always be so grateful for that and words will not express HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU!!!"

Parent Reflection
"Dear Teacher Michele,
Hello, I am the mother of one of your students "Grace". I wanted to take this time and extend my gratitude. Grace was delighted to inform us that you have chose to award her with the Musical Talent Award, which is a sincere honor for her to be recognized during her four years of attending BASIS.
I believe your actions will inspire Grace and further enhance her willingness to advance her musical abilities as she moved forward down the musical path. Its because of accomplished teachers such as yourself that have a warm and caring heart for their students and encourage them to do their best that has led Grace to refer to you as one of the most outstanding teachers in her life.
Every student can be compared to a flower, if someone takes the time to nurture and give them what they need they can blossom into something beautiful. Every child deserves to be encourage and appreciated for their accomplishments and as I mention you have my deepest gratitude.
Grace will soon leave BASIS and I believe your choir class has been the most memorable of her junior high school experiences.
"A good person will be safe their entire life".
Best Regards
Elsa "Graces Mother"
