Last year my 1st grader came home with her dress covered up due to a misunderstanding with a substitute. I emailed Ingrid to make sure the dress was ok and the email back was a direct message to my daughter - letting her know she did nothing wrong and her dress was fantastic. My daughter went from concerned and self conscious to happy and empowered. She returned to school the next week rocking that same dress for class picture day.
Every interaction my daughter had with Ingrid was equaling empowering. Her support and enthusiasm has directly bolstered my daughter's self confidence and I am forever grateful. She is profoundly missed.
