Laura Ann (12th grade): "Thank you for inspiring me. I will begin working toward a teaching degree, which I will dedicate to you."

Brady (6th grade): "My favorate (sic) part was when we would cook. My favorate (sic) recipe was when we would make ice cream out of snow. At the end of the year, I didn´t want to leave, but I had to face the inevitable. The year was over; the best school year of my life."

Sara (12th grade): "...you gave me confidence and trust in other people. I learned patience, and that I was funny. You understood those of us who didn´t conform."

Jack (8th grade): "You will never know how you have touched your students. Someday, I hope to have my name printed on the spine of a book...you do know that it is your fault that I am so deeply in love with writing."

Ellen (6th grade): "Once, we made ´white worms.´ It was really mashed potatoes, but some of us believed we were eating worms!"
