J.W.

Mrs. Dimos, When I think of you the first word that comes to mind is pink. You are my angel in pink. I would have never made it this far without you! I never thought someone as amazing, spiritual, caring, giving, forgiving, honest, open-minded, understanding, loving, brilliant, and willing to admit their human state as you are could exist. You never cease to amaze me. You truly are a role model in my life, and you will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you, J.W.

Mrs. Dimos, I want to thank you for being more than a teacher to my son. I never expected that it would be so difficult to find the right school for J. The day we met I found out that helping kids was your mission. Thank you for helping him to believe in himself, for guiding him, and for making him love school again! My family thanks you, your husband, and your staff for making the last three years a wonderful and peaceful learning experience for my son. God bless you, your family, and your school, E.R.

Dear Mrs. Dimos, First off, thank you so much for helping me through one of the toughest periods of my life. Without you, I don't even want to know where I'd be. You have been there through thick and thin, and bad and good times. I have had a blast being a part of Palmetto Bay Academy and I've learned so much. You have taught me independence and respect, to love everyone for who they are, and last of all, how to speak to people. Being at Palmetto Bay Academy has molded me for the future in so many good ways. I will never forget the amazing times at PBA. You're the best. I love you, R.M.
