March FCPS CARES: Love, Dedication, and Inclusion
“Mrs. [Brittany] Gonzalez and Ms. [Danielle] Stauber gave my autistic daughter a chance to prove herself,” said a Poplar Tree parent about the school’s music teachers. The parent nominated the teachers for FCPS CARES after the All-County Chorus Festival.
“Autism comes with its own unique challenges, and we cannot thank them enough for building up our young girl to find her joy in exactly who she is,” the parent said. “Mrs. Gonzalez and Ms. Stauber have taken the time to understand my child’s needs and work tirelessly to create a nurturing and inclusive program where my child feels not only respected, but challenged. We are truly blessed to have these two women in the lives of our children. They have helped my daughter find a safe place with her unique voice where she not only can feel at peace, but truly thrive.”
