I am forever grateful to have you as my teacher. Congratulations on your retirement, you have made an impact on my life and every other student you have taught. To be honest I was nervous on the first day of science class, but soon enough I came to realize that you were the best teacher in school! I can't imagine what my life would be like if you hadn’t taught me. I give thanks to you for your time and effort in our class (even with the crazy ones). Also in your class I didn’t just learn science, I also learned how to show respect, especially to your teacher. I am forever grateful to be one of your students and I will always remember what I have learned in your class. Congratulations again.

Sincerely,

Samantha Childers (7-3)

Congratulations Ms. Anex on retirement. Thank you for being such a great teacher. I know that my sister Isabella Lim learned a lot from you in 7-8th grade. After having you for one year now I’m a little bit jealous that she had you for a teacher for two years. I learned a lot from you this year in 7th grade. You're an amazing teacher and I appreciate you coming to school everyday to teach us about a whole lot of interesting stuff. Even after the school day you stay at school late to post stuff on Classroom and Jupiter to help us with homework, and to make sure we know everything we need to know. It's not just for me, it’s for the whole school too. You even have your own recycling program thing that you do for the school. I enjoyed everything that we did this year. Starting with sleep info to now learning about mammal reproduction. I look forward to your class everyday, and now I am sad that you will not be teaching me anymore. I hope you enjoy the rest of your life in retirement. I will never forget you as one of my favorite teacher

From Jeremiah Lim

Thank you for all the work you put into teaching our 7th grade year. You've taught me so much about Science this year and unlocked a part of my brain I didn't know I had. Without you, I wouldn't be the student I am today. You had such a big impact on my life and throughout the years, your science will still help me through school, I'm sure of it. I appreciate all that you did for us in the 7th grade. Congratulations on your retirement, and I hope you have a relaxing and quiet life.

Thank you very much for your years as a teacher

You have taught hundreds of students cool skills,

You have really changed people’s lives

In an extraordinary great way,

I loved when you were funny sometimes

And the days we didn’t have homework,

I loved talking to you at recess

A useful way to have fun at break while still learning new things,

Thank you for reminding me that my immune system is strong

A special power that not everyone has,

Thank you for helping me be happy

I’m struggling to think that it’s the secret to life,

You have made Science Class exciting to us

You are a popular teacher,

Thank you for the hard work on Google Classroom

And on Jupiter,

You are an awesome valuable teacher

That I wished I had next year,

Congratulations on your retirement

I hope you’ve made tons of memories and friends on Campus!

-Easton Alanis

I can’t believe that you are leaving us! No other teacher can come close to being on the same level as you. I am going to miss your “Sexy Little +1’s”, your “Mr. The Good” ’s and your humor. You have touched all of our hearts in one way or another. I am going to miss you so much. To me, this feels like the end of a movie. Happy, but also sad. I'm going to miss you so much! I’m going to miss your cough ancient cough computer, recycling out on the grass, and your sweet treats after. 

This is going to be a dramatic change for me, the grade, and the entire school alike. It will not be the same without you. But your years and years of teaching have changed so many brains and hearts alike, you have changed so many people. I’m going to miss you Ms. Anex, please come and visit next year! 

Have a wonderful retirement, Brian “The Good” Bueno

Thank you for teaching us science. I feel like I never truly enjoyed science until I got into 7th grade, and now science is one of my favorite subjects. I would've loved to have you until 8th grade, but I wish you the best in the years of your retirement. I appreciate that you came to school every day just to teach us science. I am confident that I will remember you even when I retire. I am sad to see you go, but I hope you make the most of your retirement and enjoy the rest of your life to the fullest. Congratulations on having a very successful career and I know that all of your students are happy for you. I am sure that I will use the knowledge that I have gained in your class for my future in life. From learning about sleep to tarantulas to learning about evolution to learning cell theory, you have helped us gain the most knowledge of any teacher I have ever had. Hopefully the recycling at this school continues, in your retirement. I always enjoyed hearing all the stories of random science facts that always fascinated the whole class. It will be sad not learning chemistry and physics in your class next year, but I just wanted to congratulate you for all your hard work in the many years you have taught. Thank you Ms. Anex.

Sincerely,

Thank you for all the work you did for me in science. You've helped  me out  so much around science this year and opened a portion of my brain I didn't know I had. Without you, I wouldn't be the student  I am nowadays. My favorite part of science was when we were learning about tarantulas. I also like how you would call me John Snow Coat Anderson. You had such an enormous effect on my life even though I have had you for so little time as a teacher, I'm beyond any doubt of it. I appreciate everything you have  done for us within the 7th. Congrats on your retirement, and I trust you have got a calm life ahead now. 

Sincerely,
John Michael Anderson

I am going to miss your teaching. I really was hoping for you to teach me 8th grade. I will aim to open up a bakery, so that you can have my baked goods whenever you want. You are the only teacher that was actually preparing me for highschool. I will really miss all the stories you tell in class. Thank you for being such an amazing teacher. I hope that your life goes the way you want. 

Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Anex,

Congratulations on retirement. You are a phenomenal teacher and one of the best at this school. You will forever be remembered as one of the greats. I will always remember you as one of the most influential people I've ever met. Thank you for the best science class of my life.

-Mateo Downs

Congratulations on your retirement! This year for 7th grade I was very lucky to have you have you as my science teacher. I haven’t had someone that teaches quite like you. You make lots of examples that are easy to follow. Thank you for staying here for the 20 years that you have. Your retirement is very saddening. I wish I could have had you for another year to teach us physics, which I find interesting. You always made your lessons fun and interesting. I hope you will have a fun retirement with your friends and family. I know you will have a great life in the new chapter of your life.

-Devon Holly

Thank you for being such a great teacher and I will always remember your analogies to cars. Out of every teacher that I have had at this school you have definitely taught me the most. I was never too fond of science until I came into your class. Your jokes and stories were very entertaining. I think that your recycling program is very thoughtful because many people don't even think about recycling and just throw things in the trash without thinking about it. I will always remember you as my favorite teacher. I hope you have an amazing retirement and have a relaxing rest of your life.

Sincerely

And everything you have taught me has been Very interesting.Thank you for everything.

-Lizzy call

Hello Ms. Anex, I'm very sad to see you go, you were the best science teacher that I've ever had. You've taught me so much and I wish I could have had you for more years. 

You've taught me so much in the little amount of time you've had me. No one could ever replace you. I hope you will still come and see us at Friday music. Maybe also drop in at our classes sometimes, to make sure we're learning enough. I have a story to tell you. When I was in 6th grade I was nervous. Everyone told me that you were scary and mean. Turns out you were none of those things. My brother told me some stories about your teaching, and I doubted the truth. I suddenly believed all of those stories on the first day of school. You welcomed us with open arms. In true Ms. Anex fashion we took notes on the first day of school, and then took a test on the 3rd day of school. Through all of these months of you teaching me I've learned more than any other teacher, ever! Thank you Ms. Anex, this school will not be the same without you. No one could ever replace you.

Sincerely,

Evan Lopes (Aiden's brother/ Algae hair kid)

P.S. You have the best jokes

First of all, congratulations on your retirement! It is so well deserved and I feel honored to be one of your former students. As I’ve gone on to graduate college with a degree in biology, my thoughts return to you and your class often as the beginning of my love for science. You are an amazing, one of a kind teacher that we have all been so lucky to know and learn from.

Also, a special thank you for all of the hours my brother and I spent as children chatting your ears off and naming your many animals - even down to the crickets! Those were times of my childhood that I remember so fondly, and it was so generous of you to have us. 

I’m wishing you peace and joy throughout this next chapter of your life! 

Maya Eulo (CSMH 2014)

I will always remember the day you confused me with an 8th grader because of the way I carry myself. Your overall character, even before I knew you as my teacher, is so unique and was a great addition to Charter School.  I hope your retirement goes well. I will miss you as my teacher, you were definitely one of the best. 

Sincerely,

Rocco Adan Langone

Congrats on your retirement! 

You are one of the most inspiring and funny people I’ve ever met. I am struggling to find the right words to describe how good of a teacher you are. I’m happy for you that you are retiring, but I'm really going to miss you. Please come visit us every once in a while.Without you, the school won’t be the same. 

We will all remember you for the rest of our lives. 

You're the best, 
Cole Casey

Congratulations on retiring! I'm very happy that I got to have you as my science teacher even if it was only for 1 year and not 2. I'm grateful for everything you have done for this school and for your students. I have learned a lot in your class and had a lot of fun on the projects we do. You have done so much to help our school sice before you came to charter we didint have recycling and now because of you we have it. I always had fun in you're class and I love your jokes. It wil be weird being at charter next year without you here. im sad i wont get to do the other activitys you had planed for next year but I hope you have I nice time in your retirement. I will miss you.

Benjy Klaus

I know you have made a difference in my life!  A girl from Brooklyn, who had really no "earth connection", now hesitates before I put waste into any basket......I want to be sure....because of YOU.  I will miss you~

Here's to you, Patricia!!!

Congratulations on retiring and I just want you to know that we will all miss you but hope you have a great retirement! You have contributed so much to our school and we are so thankful for everything you do. You make us all better students and we are lucky to have someone that cares as much for the campus as much as you do. You have inspired so many people and I wish you the best future!

Sincerely,
Sophia Monks (7-1)

Congratulations on retiring! You’ve earned it! I learned so much in science this year and I wish I could have you for 8th grade. You have taught me to manage my time wisely and be a responsible student. It was fun when we got to go around campus collecting recycling and when we got to pick what our parent signature box would be for our test corrections. You have helped out our school so much by teaching us 7th graders how to do the recycling and crush cans. Thank you for teaching us so much every day in class and making each day memorable. You are the most knowledgeable, lively, and funniest science teacher I have ever had. It has been an honor to be one of your students. I wish you the best for the future!

Sincerely,

Anna Conca (2023, 7th Grade)

Thank you for all the hard work you put into the last 7th grade you will ever have. You had such a significant impact on my life. You taught me so many things I never even knew of. Thank you for helping me become a better student. Thank you again for pushing me so I'll understand what it's like to be a high schooler. Hope you have a great time during your retirement  

-Arya Shirani

      I will truly miss you when I graduate and move on in life. You are truly an inspiration to me and will always know that you helped me with my knowledge of physics and life science. I hoped that in the future I would come and visit you on a Family Fun Fest or exhibition for my siblings, but I see this will be the last time I will see you. It’s been a pleasure being your student and will truly miss your interesting stories and lessons. I hope you have a great retirement and never stop dancing.
Sincerely,
Charlye Tran

Thank you so much for being my teacher. Though I only had you as my teacher for seventh grade, I have by far learned the most in your class and you are my favorite teacher ever. You have not just affected my life, but the lives of all the students in your class. You have taught me always to put in my best effort and try my best. Your class always posed as a fun and interesting part of my day. You stayed late almost every day to post things to help us out. I have had a wonderful time in your class whether it was doing recycling or learning about sleep, tarantulas, cells, and much, much more. I wish you could be my teacher for eighth because there will never be a teacher I learn more from. I am proud to be in one of the last classes you taught and will pass on my knowledge to my younger sibling and those around me. I loved all the projects we did in your class including; the Tarantula Skit, Planet Quercus, and the cell model. I am disappointed you won’t get to teach us chemistry and see us graduate from eighth grade. You have shown me my passion for science and the world around me. I hope you enjoy your long-deserved retirement and live it out to the fullest. Thank you so very much! Best wishes!

Sincerely,

Thank you so much for all that you have done for all your students! You have taught me the most out of all the teachers I have had. I am so jealous of all the students that have had you for 7th and 8th grade. I wish that you were staying one more year so I could have you for 8th grade. I wish you the best retirement and to have the best time listening to Mr. Parker’s music. Thank you for everything that you have done for us! 

Sincerely,
Giuliana Borello (2022-2023 7th Grader)

I’m Elliott. You may remember me in the future, but not by my name. I’m the last Padilla you’ll ever teach. I have learned so much from you in just one year, and I cannot stress enough that I am sad to see you go. This has been the best year of my life. I’ve had so many memorable experiences and I am honored that I will be the last generation of students you will ever be teaching again. I don’t want this school year to end! The CSMH campus will never be the same without you. I can only imagine how many more memories I would’ve been able to make if you were here for one more year. I never was able to get that elusive A and I will always regret only getting that B+. I hope we meet again someday.

-Elliott Padilla

Mazie Jakubs (2022-2023 7th grade student) 

Thank you so much for being our teacher this year although I wish you could have stayed to teach us in 8th grade. This year was the year that I possibly learned the most in a science class!  I'm so sad that you can’t teach us next year. I was really looking forward to it. I hope you have the best retirement because you really deserve it.  Thank you for teaching our 7th grade class.
