Wendi is one of the most patient and supportive people I know. When I first began working at Connections, she was always available for questions and guidance in my new job. After changing positions in the district after 20 years, I really appreciated her help in making what could have been a difficult transition very easy. In addition, as an expert homeschool advisor, she provided brilliant tips and specific guidelines for my new position. I'm so grateful for this, as it helps me to provide for the needs of our homeschool families.

Wendi is someone who believes that change begins with us all. Her reach stretches farther than her student's smiles. Wendi goes the extra mile to help educate fellow teachers and work with the community to support all students and families. Her enthusiasm for education and positive community change is contagious.

Wendi is a great asset for Connections Homeschool Program, our homeschool families, and the community. She consistently takes the extra step to make things better for others. I can't think of anyone more deserving.
