⭐ Mrs. Valenti said, “AJ is a fantastic student and person who always gives amazing effort and dedicates herself to being the best she can possibly be. I had the pleasure of teaching AJ in both financial literacy and AP Government, and the time, effort, and care she put into learning the material, regardless of what subject it was, was admirable.
