    Hello, I would like to vote for Trabuco Elementary school located in Trabuco Canyon, Orange County, possibly the oldest school in OC. Situated in a rural community surrounded by nature, they continue to provide an intimate and family like environment for students, parents, and staff. I highly recommend this school for the Reader’s Choice Award! Thank you.

    Vanessa has such a way with the kids. They learn so much more than just song and dance. They learn acceptance of one another and their performing proves it.
    Vanessa pours her heart into this group and I feel she truly deserves this honor!
