Becky and her husband Aaron joined The Leffell School in the fall of 2021. They enrolled sight unseen, placing their trust in the school after just a few meaningful conversations — and they have never looked back. The very first item on Becky’s agenda was asking the PTO presidents, “What can I do to be helpful?” Unbeknownst to her at the time, the answer was: a lot.
