Shoutout to all the Excel teachers, staffs, guidance counselors!!! No matter what people say about Excel, I'm  proud to be a student at Excel.
The teachers here are more than just amazing. There are no words that could describe them. During the pandemic, if it is already 2x difficult for us as students, it is going to be 10x more difficult for you as teachers. You could have chosen to leave, but you decided to stay.
Your motivations help me reach my dream! Your appearance, dedication, sacrifice, patience, benevolence, energy, and caring for your students and Excel are very very precious. They are treasured and priceless.
You're already successful! To say "appreciate" is not enough, because it's more than just a word!

Dear Mrs.Bokas,
Thank you for all the time you spent during 11th grade where even though you didn't show up a lot. The time you did show up, it made the class feel way better as we actually learned chemistry and the way you taught chemistry made me actually enjoy it. From sharing chocolate to doing fun experiments with the chemicals made me actually enjoy school for once.
I sincerely thank you for your service.

Thanks to all the teachers that makes their class fun and enjoyable. As a mentor myself I understand the stress that you guys have to deal with students, especially the ones that don't have/feel motivated. You guys have been doing your jobs for many years and make students have a fun experience in your classroom and it shows! I personally am thankful for my math teachers (MR.MAC AND MRS.GARAY) for making me love math the way you guys do! Thank you for teaching me and making my life feel easier!

Everyone's life is busy. Sometimes it makes people forget to say "thank you". Sounds simple, but it has a lot of meaning to it. When we say "thank you", we need to really mean it! As we express our gratitude, we need to really show action, not just utter words. For us, as students, we need to respect, be active in class to show that we really mean when we express our gratitude.

On the occasion of Thanksgiving, I sincerely want to send my feelings and thoughts to all my dear teachers at Excel through a letter. I'm really grateful and appreciate the teachers because the always show their engagement and passion of supporting me as well as all Excel students. Obviously, not only students engage and work hard and diligently but also teachers show their engaging personalities and teaching behaviors assiduously as well as high expectations for us students. Particularly during this difficult time, both teachers and students forcefully have to try to overcome some obstacles. In spite of those difficulties, the teachers still conscientiously fulfill their responsibilities and show their high expectations and engagement for their students. Overall, I cannot somehow fully express my feelings and thoughts to all Excel teachers through this letter. I can only say "Thank you so much!" to all the teachers to show my sincere gratitude. In all my abilities, I will try to fulfill my obligations completely in order to deserve the merits of teachers.

To all my teachers. You have contributed to my education like no other. I sincerely thank you for all of the things that you have not only done for me but for all of your students. Your passion and confidence makes us motivated to want to continue with our education. Thank you for creating bonds with your students and making your classrooms bright and welcoming for every student who walks in. With all of these obstacles that you've had to overcome during remote learning I applaud you because I know this is not easy for any of you. I know teaching during this time is not the same for any of you and it can be overwhelming at many times, but keep going! You all are doing such an amazing job and I am so proud of every single one of you! Many of your students appreciate you and I really hope you remind yourself that in case if you ever have a hard time starting up your day.
I would like to thank specifically Mrs.Bokas for always pushing me forward and giving me the support, acceptance and kindness that I had not received in a long time. Your words and motivation really allowed me to feel better about myself and to continue pushing myself forward.
With Love,
-H.B

I am like a tree. Teachers contribute a lot in growing it by watering our roots with knowledge. You help me to bloom. More than that, knowledge is the most powerful weapon in the world. Teachers are the ones that guide me to achieve this power. As students, let us be grateful to all the teachers because they deserve more than that!
