Dear Mr. Parker,
You made music and HS marching band a wonderful and everlasting part of my life! I was grateful to be one of your last group of students. Now as my children enter the world of music, I look for teachers like you that will encourage and help them to be adventurous and dedicated to their crafts! Thank you for being amazing!

Dear Mrs. Sheridan,
Thank you for letting me keep that class copy of The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock – it started a love of poetry that has not stopped since.

Dear Ms. Bennett (now Mrs. Cifareli),
Thank you for being the person I needed in 3rd grade, when I was going through a difficult time in my life. You didn't know it then, but you were instilling care and nurturing in me, that I now have as a teacher.

Dear Mrs. Dukes,
Thank you for seeing all of my potential and never reprimanding me for being that chatty little second grader who always spoke her mind. Instead, you encouraged me to do so. I didn't know it then, but when you asked me to be your teacher's assistant, you planted your seed in me. It lives on because I am now a teacher educator and author yielding bountiful fruit in your honor. I am forever grateful to you.

Dear Mrs. Vaughan,
Thank you for encouraging me to learn more about science. You brought me books to read, let me watch your class’s science experiments, and were always there to talk and listen. I’m a research physician because of you. Thank you.

Linda Mayes, Professor, Yale University School of Medicine
Dear Mr. Matthews,
Thank you for not giving up on me, and for coaching me through my struggles with ADHD. I'm in a much better place.
