Dr. Pruitt is awesome!!! She makes sure that it is understand that everything she does is for the children. She isn't given much to go with but always does wonderful with what she has. Most of the children are awesome and the ones that need a little more guidance and love receive that as well. Dr. Pruitt is what Leinkauf has been missing and I am glad that she completes the puzzle. Thank you for all that you do for the children, you are greatly appreciated
