“Mary is awesome. Nothing phases her.”
-
Mary Kerwin has made a tremendous difference in my family's life. My son, Ross, had learning differences and physical challenges, and Mary taught him with skill and sensitivity, always acting as his advocate. Mary has been a source of support and inspiration for our entire family.
-
We need more teachers like Mary. Her coaching and guiding our kids and igniting confidence so that they will achieve success, not only academically but in all aspects of their lives.
-
As a colleague of Mary, I was always impressed with how she treated each of her students. I would call her the "kid whisperer" because she was able to understand each student.
