Mrs. C., You were always there to greet everyone at the front door. You introduced use to the revolutionary and civil wars and infused us with sense of excitement for history.

Mrs. Gr., You made a whole to-do about an English/art project I turned in while reading Ethan Frome (I think). I was thinking about how poorly my sculpture had turned out and was ready to take an F when you made an announcement in class about it. You said nothing but praises and asked me … More Thank A Teacher
Mrs. S., I didn’t intend to hang back after class. I was even more embarrassed when I started talking and crying.

Mr. W., I’ll never forget how you growled at my class while drinking your morning cup of coffee.

I took your advice and haven’t touched a cigarette … More Thank A Teacher
Ms. P., You were always yourself while you taught. I never felt that your energy in the classroom was forced, nor was it fake.
