I may've never been an actual student in your class but you have made my high school experience more than amazing. you're by far one of my favorite people at O'Hara!

¡Hola Señor! Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Gracias for being the best profesor ever! I miss 7th period español more than anything. I always have so fun in your clase (even though you still don't know our nombres.) Everything you do does not go unnoticed and I appreciate everything you do for la escuela! Some of my favorite memories from this year were from your class. If it weren't for 7th period spanish I wouldn't have had such a memorable junior year! Here's a video of my favorite day in your class!

¡Adios! ¡Hasta Luego!

Hi Mrs. Rocci Happy teacher appreciation week!! I miss last year's spanish class with you fourth period the most. You made class so fun and made sure we always understood the material we were learning. We always had fun projects and classwork to do, that kept me wanting to learn more spanish. Lo siento for chewing gum everyday and being the biggest talker, even though i was your favorite. I miss you so much! Hope that you are staying safe and healthy during these times. Enjoy the week, you are very appreciated!

!Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! At my Freshmen Year at Cardinal Ohara High-school I had 8th Period Theology. Father Kelly made the school year fun, I could have the worst day ever in all 7 other periods but for some reason Father Kellys 45min class period could make me forget about all the bad. To his creepy smile and laugh. To his sarcastic and offensive jokes I loved it all. By far my favorite teacher. I also loved talking to him about life in general aside from the jokes he gave really great advice. Nothing will ever beat 8th Period theology.

Hi Mrs. Bashaar! I miss seeing you every eighth period for the past 2 years😢. I just want to say I appreciate you as a teacher and a person. Thank you so much for teaching me algebra 2. Kevin and I really miss sitting in the back of class and learning. Sorry you had to put up with the both of us. If it were not for you teaching me algebra 2, I would not be the amazing geometry student I am today!! Happy teacher appreciation week and I hope you stay safe. I can’t wait to see you next year!

Happy teacher appreciation week Mrs. Mushrush. You are one of the best teachers I ever had. You pushed me to my limits and encouraged me to be my best. "You ain't no dumbing", you would say to me, and I'm glad and grateful to have ever had a teacher like you. Sorry because of our current situation we can never get to say a proper goodbye.

Hi Mrs. Bashaar !! Happy teacher appreciation week to one of the best teachers out there! You make math, one of the hardest subjects, so fun and easy to learn. I will forever miss 7th period Algebra 2 with you from last year. Abby and I talk about it all the time, we were probably so annoying in that class lol. Even though I am not in one of your classes this year you have still made a huge impact on my junior year and I’ll forever be grateful for that. From seeing you at lunch everyday and changing my birthday calendar after school I miss you so much! Enjoy this week, you are loved by so many!

Henlo. I've never actually had you as a teacher, but I appreciate you. Seeing you in the hallways every morning brightens my day. Walking in and just having a staring contest with you, or me just making my noise(tm). You're just a really chill and epic dude, and I appreciate you just vibing with us.

I miss starting off my mornings in your class. You always put a smile on my face and gave me the motivation I needed in the morning. I hope we can meet again sometime. Thank you once again for all that you do! Take some time to relax and enjoy yourself, you truly deserve it!

20210080 — 2020-05-08 13:00:17 UTC

Happy Teacher Appreciation week Mr Coyne! Mr Coyne is my favorite teacher! There is never a dull moment in his 3rd period theology class! I always hear stories about Mr Coyne from every other period and I have never heard of someone not loving his class. Mr Coyne doesn’t just throw homework at us and always have quizzes. He does his best to talk with us and let us do the talking until we understand all the information and then we take the test and they are so much easier because everyone is always active in the conversations. Mr Coyne, thank you for always coming to school in a good mood even when your really not feeling it and making all of us laugh while learning! Don’t Forget Don’t leave the chick in the pock! 🍗

Happy teacher appreciation week Mr. McNulty!! Having you as a teacher for ela and gov last year were the best classes of my day. Even mornings where I was not in the best mood, I could always count on your class to cheer me up. From taking current event quizzes as a class on Fridays in gov, to drawing Grendel on the board and acting out Julius Caesar in ela, to me and Allie dominating the biffle game, every memory made is unforgettable. Thank you for everything you do. You made sophomore year such a memorable year which I will never forget!

Dom and I sincerely miss our 8th period class. We miss all the laughs we had and all the bathroom breaks. I miss put pencils all over your walls and I miss those desks in your class.

You always made class fun and welcomed everyone with open arms. I was so happy to get you for a homeroom teacher this year. Every morning you made a positive impact on my day and I am so thankful for that. You are more than just a great teacher, you care for all of your students and will do anything for them.

Thank you for being such a great addition to the O'Hara faculty and for being one of the best science teachers I have ever had. You are so understanding and always kept me motivated to learn. I really appreciate how in class you made us do things until we REALLY understood it and knew what we were doing. If it weren't for that I don't know how I would have gotten through chemistry!! I also genuinely think you are a great teacher as well as a great person and I really enjoyed my time in your class. I am so sad it got cut short but I wanted to thank you for being so great!

I honestly think you are the best teacher I've met in O'hara and will be. Also, thank you for giving me some extra time and help to understand when I was having a hard time understanding the material.

Thank you for helping me further understand Algebra 1 and preparing me for Algebra 2 and any other math that I have to take at O'Hara. You always taught with a smile on your face everyday. You always tried to help us when we didn't understand the math. It was so fun having you as my first math teacher in O'Hara, making my freshman year a breeze.

Hi Mrs. Commale, Happy Teacher Appreciation week! I just wanted to say thank you for everything you do as a teacher! And also thank you for being probably the best Social Studies teacher I've ever had. Before your class I wasn't into learning about history as much but now it is actually my favorite subject to learn. I always enjoyed your class because I genuinely felt like every day I came out of there having learned something. Btw I rlly miss our today in history's in the beginning of class those were always my favorite:( I miss our 8th period class so much! I'm sad our time got cut short but I cannot wait to hopefully have you for Psych next year! Thank you for everything you do!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week Mrs. O'Hara!! I was lucky enough to have you both freshman and sophomore year and I can definitely say I missed having you as a teacher this year. You always made your class so fun while still actually getting stuff done and I felt like I actually learned stuff in your class. You are by far one of the best teachers I've ever had. The way you teach helped me so much to actually understand the material and grow to like science. I always liked how you made the class interactive at times and had us go to different sides of the room. There was never a day where I wasn't laughing in your class. I liked how you actually made a bond with your students and got to know them all. You have made a huge impact on me and I wish I could have you as a teacher again! Thank you for being such an amazing teacher and thank you for everything you do at Ohara you really are the best!

Thank you for always surprising us with treats and parties before we go on breaks. I've learned to appreciate so much literature I probably would never have read if it wasn't for your class!

Hey Ms. Parker, Happy Teacher Appreciation week! Thank you so much for keeping in touch with us sophomores even though we are not in your class anymore. I always loved going to your room between 3rd and 4th period when we were actually still in school. I really miss your class from last year and how much fun we all had together. You grew my knowledge in theology and treated me and all my classmates as friends and not just as students. I’m sure they all miss your class as much as I do. Its a shame we don’t get to see eachother anymore with all of this stuff thats going on I really do miss all of it. I’m sure you gave all the freshman the great experience you gave us all last year too. Thank you so much for all you have done for us and for your continuing hard work over these tough times.

It always put me in the best mood in the morning and definitely woke me up. I can tell how much you love your students and love singing with us. As a show director, you are the best one out there! I haven't always had the best confidence in myself as an actress and singer, but this year, you gave me a chance! I was so glad to work with you during the show practices and gave me the confidence I have always needed. Thank you for everything you do for O'Hara and hope to see you soon!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Thank you for everything I've been able to experience in your class. It has truly been a privilege to be a part of your class (and your homeroom!) for two years in a row. You’ve proven to be a teacher that can empathize with your students well and you always want the best for us. Even though I always end up turning in essays the minute before it’s due you’re always available to help me whenever I have trouble. I’m going to really really miss your class next year, but I’m sure what I’ve learned these past years will help me to survive AP Lang. I hope you’re staying safe, and again, thank you!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! To be completely honest, I was never a big history student, but there is something about how the enthusiasm and effort he puts in to make his lectures and class the most entertaining and interesting history class I've ever sat in. I truly am grateful to have had such an amazing teacher for history. Mr. Kederis, you really did change my whole view on history and learning about history. Even though there was days I fell asleep, I promise it was not your teaching, because your teaching method is so interesting and fun to listen to. Thank you for making 7th period eventful!
