Mrs. Saullo is such a lovely teacher and makes me feel special each day!
Mrs. Bunting, you were my favorite teacher, and I’m so bummed I don’t have your class anymore this year. your class was my favorite because you always knew how to put a smile on everyone’s faces. I really believe you make an impact in your students’ lives, and I love the way you enjoy teaching. We appreciate and love you Mrs. Bunting.
I would like to schout out Mr. Lietner because when my mom was in the hospital in the beginning of school year he was very understanding, and he would let me call her every day at 10. Thank you for your understanding and compassion Mr. Leitner.
Mrs. Patrick was an amazing English teacher and i enjoyed her class. I learned so much and her class has helped prepare me so much for English 101.
Mrs. Wieland is like the all-time quarterback of teachers. She helps me with all of my classes.
Mrs. Chetelat has high expectations but has made me smarter and a better student.
I would like to shout out Mrs. Galello. She is so patient and helps me believe in myself.
Thank you so much Mr. Greenwood. You help me actually like math and feel like I know what I am doing. I enjoy your class.
I would like to shout out Mrs. Ritz. She is like a second mom to me. I always know that she is going to have my back – but she is going to make me work for it at the same time. I love you Mrs. Ritz.
Shout out to Mr. V in the media center. You make my day every day. Don’t ever stop being you.
Mrs. Ridout is really nice. If it wasn’t for her, I would have a hard time concentrating and getting my work done.
