Mr. Johnson always has time for everyone and makes all students and teachers feel very special. He always has a smile on his face and goes out of his way to help anyone in need. Mr. Johnson goes above and beyond to create fun activites and events for the students and their families to enjoy together. He is pulled in so many different directions, but he never complains, he just willingly helps out whoever needs it. The students love to spend time with Mr. Johnson and he offers it up every day, whether it be for lunch buddies, special programs or just to talk. Mr. Johnson is an integral part of Davis School and the kids would be lost without him!

The Kids like Mr.Johnson, even in the lunch period, they always ask me if they can go to Mr.Johnson's room. When they see him in hallway, they are always very excited to say "Hi,Mr.Johnson". He is indeed "the King of the kids".

Mr. Aasim Johnson is a life changer! He supports the children of Davis Family School in more ways than I am even aware of. He is there for them, always! He also supports the staff by stopping by our rooms to check on us, helping us with students, and by even sending personal texts at holidays and such. With Mr. Johnson, its the little things, those things that make you smile and get you through the day. He is a breath of fresh air.
