I feel blessed to have been able to work with Tracy Foley this school year. She works with specific children patiently and lovingly daily. However, is always there to assist any child in need at any time. As well as to suggest strategies/ideas to help. Our kiddos are lucky to have her.

As a kindergarten teacher I worked closely with Mrs. Foley last year in my regular ed. Classroom. She was given a job to help a special needs student to fully participate in my regular Ed classroom. She truly went above and beyond to make an impact in this child's life and I know this child will never be the same. She was patient at the moments I could not be and loving when even when she was hit. I truly could not have survived the year without her.

Tracy has a heart of gold and positively affects everyone she comes in contact with; teachers, students, and parents alike. She supports many students in an elementary school of over 1,400 students. Many of the students she supports have struggled their whole lives with fitting in, learning, and/or behaving appropriately socially. Each student she assists and each teacher she supports could not be successful without her help. She changes the lives of everyone for the better and never lets a student or teacher's bad day affect her. She always comes in with a smile on her face and love for these children in her heart. The children can feel her love for them, which is why she is so successful at what she does. I can speak first hand, as a teacher she supports, that I could not do my job without her. I try to reach all of my students, but for the ones that I can't, she is there to give them the attention and support they need. These children open up to her, they trust her, and they want to do better for her. It is an amazing sight to see. She truly is changing the lives of children and shaping the minds of future adults. Tracy is underappreciated for what she does each and every day, and she deserves to know how truly impactful she really is!

I agree with what has been said about Tracy. Her dedication to her job as well as her students shows that she goes above and beyond to strive for the best at Little River Elementary School.

Tracey is an amazing teacher and presence in our school. She shows up every day early and ready to serve in all of her duties. She also is prompt to respond to the needs of the school overall and not just her areas of responsibility. Our school is THE LARGEST elementary school in our county with over 1327 students. Tracey is often serving other people and students with a huge heart. She truly CARES about people individually and the school as a whole. She is often found greeting the students with a smile while ensuring their safety as her first priority.

Tracey Foley is a wonderful light to many children in the school. She always has a positive attitude with the children and uses her kindness where there might be none given. She helps with every student in the classroom, not only the ones that she specifically is designated to.
