“Mrs. Jimenez' presence in our school community was not impactful-it was transformative. Mrs. Jimenez demonstrated a remarkable ability to build authentic, trusting relationships with all stakeholders. Whether she was counseling one-on-one, collaborating with staff to support classroom needs, or leading a parent workshop, she approached every interaction with warmth, professionalism, and deep empathy. Her support was always rooted in compassion and cultural responsiveness. The parent workshop she facilitated was a standout example of her strengths-engaging, practical, and empowering. Families left feeling more connected, equipped with useful tools, and grateful for the opportunity to learn from someone who truly understands the emotional complexities of parenting.  Mrs. Jimenez created a safe, supportive environment wherever she went. She met students where they were emotionally and developmentally, offered staff thoughtful guidance, and honored the voices of families. Her contribution to the social-emotional health of our school community was unvaluable.”
