Description:  Jaimie Gilson
Recognized by Sarah Tapp, FOCUS Valdez Parent
I just wanted to send a message to make sure you understand how amazing Jaimie Gilson and the Valdez office are. I have homeschooled all my kids all their life. My oldest is now 21. And my second is about to graduate, in the next couple of months. I have always been part of Chugach school district, and focus homeschool.
We have had some teachers come and go through the years, that were amazing, but I truly do not think I could have made this journey like I have without Jaimie.
Her gentle encouragement, quiet patience, unwavering support, and committed loyalty, is a privilege and an honor to experience. She is there for the kids. She is there for the parents. I can’t tell you how many parents I have talked to through the years, and we have all said it is such a comfort to know Jaimie is there. We are so blessed to have her! I just wanted to give a little honor where honor is due... I don’t know how we got so lucky, but I am sure thankful.
