Thank you Ms.Liz and Ms. Pam for the past two years working with you has been a life changing experience. We came to valley hopeful that we would get Audrey to talk and she came in newly 3 and with Pam and Liz they worked their magic and got Audrey to talk and she will be going to the town prek which I never thought would happen. Liz has been such a pleasure to work with and I will truly miss her next year.

We appreciate you!

We love all our teachers at Valley. Vinko has grown so much the last 3 years. We held him back this past year and he has blossomed. We look forward to what Vinko’s future holds for next year but we will always be grateful to Miss Tina, Miss Chris, Miss Gallone and Miss Liz! We also are so thankful to all the specialized service therapists that have worked with him the last 3 years!

Thank you to Ms Chrissy and all of Noah's previous teachers/ therapists/ aids. To say we have come a long way is an understatement. Noah started with the Valley program when he was about 5 yrs old. We have transitioned to high school with the help of Mr Mark and Ms Lee-Ann. Now, we're at the Summit House with Ms Chrissy and Ms Robyn has guided us through Guardianship. Our family is forever grateful for all the work that you do.

So Much Love from Leo

2026-05-08 17:18:55 UTC

So much love from Leo to everyone at Valley. “Thank you” feels far too simple to express our gratitude. Leo is an ever-evolving puzzle, and the way everyone thinks quickly on their feet and continually adjusts how they work with him is nothing short of amazing. Thank you for seeing Leo for who he is and for helping him feel safe, supported, and celebrated every day. We are forever grateful.

Special shoutout to Ms. Lisa, Ms. PJ, Ms. Victoria, Ms. Jamie, Ms. Pauline, Ms. Kira, Ms. Gabriela, and the entire Valley staff.
