“It is our responsibility to provide
our students/children with a unique learning environment where all children feel safe to learn, grow and be themselves...”
-Cortney Greenslet
“...I had the pleasure of having Cortney as a student in my Multiculturalism in Education class at the Community College of Vermont during the fall semester of 2004. I was immediately impressed with Cortney's positive demeanor, her willingness to let her feelings and passions be known, and her attention to detail and deadline…”

– Letter of Recommendation for a scholarship

“...being involved in a child’s
school, it is giving the child a sense of pride. It is giving them a feeling of belonging, and a feeling of priority in learning..”

Philosophy of Parental Involvement
