Adam’s teachers, Pete and Gerard, helped him find his passion, then provided him with the encouragement and opportunities to experience it at a young age!  Thank you for believing in him when no one else did! – Valerie Denton (Mother of Adam, TSMSOC Graduate ’16)

Few days go by that Mike and I don’t thank SMSOC for putting Izzy on the path of loving learning. We are so grateful to you and all her teachers for making school fun, relevant, interesting, and child-centered. Putting her at SMSOC will always stand out in my mind as the best thing we did for Izzy because it exposed her to life and education in a way that changed her life for the better. Great families. Great teachers. Great approach (Reggio Emilia). Friendly environment. – Lee Pruett (Mother of Izzy, TSMSOC Graduate)

Sam and Andrew and I are grateful for the “Donut Club” that you, Beth, set up to work with him and a few other students in 2nd through 4th grade.  Ever since then, Beth he loves stories and wants to tell them. He is working hard on producing his thesis film for his degree in film.  Sam still wants to make movies, something he started at TSMSOC with Willie Herndon and Theresa Eppert’s counsel and mentoring.  – Daisy and Andrew Archie (Parents of Sam, TSMSOC Graduate)

He has carried with him from TSMSOC the desire to make friends, to be kind to every one, and to think strategically.  Thank you Elizabeth Bailey!
