Your class is the brightest spot in her days. On the tough days when she’s not so hot on school, knowing she has class with you really makes a difference to her attitude. I appreciate you so much! You’re doing much more than teaching art for your students. Thank you for the safe and brave space you create.

I could go on and on; I am deeply grateful for you and your time and dedication with my kids these past two years. You have brought out the artist in my son and supported my daughter's confidence boost. You are a wonderful, beautiful human, and teacher.

As the school year winds down, I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for the time, energy, and care you've given to the students at Manhattan Middle School — especially my son, Nico Ulfers. Your dedication to teaching and your impact on these young minds does not go unnoticed. Developing creativity and their creative abilities will serve all the things that they do in life!


Whether it's guiding them through challenging topics, encouraging curiosity, or simply showing up with patience and consistency each day, I truly appreciate everything you do. It's clear that you're making a difference, and for that, I am deeply grateful.


Wishing you a smooth end to the year and a well-deserved summer ahead!


Warm regards,

Kelly McCallister
