Thank you for the opportunity to do my speech therapy internship here at NJEDDA Elementary School. Every single staff member made me feel welcome and his or her dedication to the students is second-to-none. I am sad to leave but I am happy to have been a part of a wonderful and special school. Keep up the outstanding work!
