Mr. Jackson, thank you for all the engaging discussions you have kept going in the World Cultures class. My child and I always talk about what goes on in that class and I firmly believe that this class is probably the most crucial in helping young minds understand human history, governance and helping shape them into future citizens of the world. You are truly amazing.

Mr. Burgess, ever since you spoke about Hurricanes on Day 1 of science class my daughter's been hooked! She loves science class and she absolutely looks up to you as one of the best teachers ever! No recounting of a B day is complete without a word of praise for you! I hope you continue teaching at Kealing for years to come as you are affecting so many lives in a positive manner.
