"It's hard to put into words what Verner means to me... It is a home away from home - a second family of sorts! Verner faculty and staff genuinely care for one another and each of the students we have the honor to serve each day. We strive for excellence in academics and character. We are a safe place, brimming with love and acceptance. We build each other up - we support the needs of our learners and strive to help each and every student learn and grow. I am so thankful for this school. Verner shaped, and continues to, my own personal children. It has grown and taught me professionally. Verner truly is a special place... one of the very BEST!!!"

"My teachers have been so kind and they have taught me a lot of things. I love hanging out with my friends at lunch and recess."

"My favorite thing about Verner is that all the teachers are nice and kind, and I have very nice friends. I have been here very long, so I just love Verner."

"I love that everybody tries to make you feel welcome and happy in your Verner experience. I moved here last year and i was nervous, but everybody welcomed me and made me feel like I belonged. Every morning when I walk into the building, either Mrs. Thompson, Dr. Elam, or Mr. Walker says, "Good morning, Sally" or "Have a great day Sally," and that makes me feel so good about myself and happy and welcomed. These are some reasons I love Verner."

"My favorite teacher at Verner is Mrs. Shipley. She is my favorite because she pushed me to learn new standards and grow as a person."
