Stephanie Moore
I have been a parent in the GTIYO for five years. The time in GTIYO has been a wonderful experience for my daughter. She has increased her passion, her confidence, and involvement along with her desire to succeed. She and I are both interested in learning about and embracing differences, and music is a tool that we can use to do that. I have experience working with students and families in my career as an elementary school counselor. I see first hand both personally and professionally the benefits the GTIYO can have for students.
