A Ramsey Success Story
Last week I had the privilege of serving as a panelist for a Defense of Learning. I felt compelled to share my experience as a panelist on this student’s Defense and the bigger story that makes this such a unique and remarkable Ramsey success story. The student is Ardian Llukaj, and his story in Ramsey began in September 2014 as a fourth grader. I was lucky enough to be the principal of Dater at the time, so I was able to get to know Ardian and his family from their beginning in America.
