"Ms. Rudd has impacted my son's life tremendously," said Cadd. "She is nice, kind, thoughtful, and respectful. Hunter has gone from being behind in school in another state to excelling in school thanks to Ms. Rudd. He could not read before first grade, but now, he reads books to me. Thank you, Ms. Rudd, for all of your hard work and dedication to your kids. You have given Hunter the tools he needs to be successful."
