Sarah, I am so glad I had the opportunity to have you in Geometry two years ago. I remember very early in that year, you wanted to know what you could do to help your grade which sat at a low A and you wanted better than that. Your hard work and tenacity is admirable and it was an honor to have you as a student. I miss seeing you and helping you in my little office, but our paths will surely meet again.

Fraol, I will never forget your wit and *stubbornness* when stopping a Chemistry lesson to ask questions until you understood. You pointed out to others that you were more concerned with your learning than your letter grade and that’s something other students needed to hear. I am so excited to see where you are headed in this world and I am so very proud of you!

Dellino, Andrew
Andrew! Great job this year, keep up the great work!
Andrew, I don’t think I could be more proud of the transformation that you’ve gone through in the past 3.5 years that I’ve known you. Look at what you’ve done! This is a clear indication that there is nothing that can hold you down in life. You determine your own outcome, so go out into the world, travel it, learn from it, make a version of it that you can be proud of. And keep me posted on how you’re progressing! U RoK! – Mr Ballew
