I cannot express enough words how much Ms.

Stoffel means to all of us! She is such an amazing person and teacher! My daughter had trouble connecting to people and she just was drawn to her and I am so thankful! She is kind, funny, and a beautiful soul! There is so much more I could say but then I would keep on and on lol! Just want to show appreciation for her and let everyone know how exceptional she is as a teacher!

I cannot express my appreciation and gratitude to Ms. Paige, Mr. Malay, Mrs. Wierson, and Katie the principal. These teachers and admin have done so many amazing things for both of my children. From the long phone calls to the last minute schedule changes they have went above and beyond to ensure that both of my kids get the things they need to succeed. Thank you so much for everything you do!

My favorite teacher this year had been Ms. Engevik, my German Language teacher. She had been so fun and always happy, flexible, and just a great teacher. I hope I can be in her class again next year!

I have two favorite teachers one is Mrs.KJ even though I don't have a class with her this year she was so helpful and kind for me when I had her for science last year and she is a great art club teacher. The second teacher I would like to appreciate is my math teacher Mrs. Collins because she is always so kind and willing to help me as much as I need to be able to understand what we are working on. 💜💜

My 5th grade teacher Ms. Beckstrom really helped me to figure out my favorite subject history! She was also a really good teacher overall and made me really happy to learn.

2026-04-23 18:52:26 UTC

I'd like to thank Mrs. Jensen for being such an awesome teacher! She never fails to make me or the class laugh. Mrs. Jensen is a great teacher who shows her admiration for animals while teaching her Vet Science class. I'm so grateful to have her as a teacher for this last semester of school :)

(BTW I love this class SO MUCH❤️)

All 3 of the classes I have with them this semester (I have two with Mrs. Kueny) have been absolutely amazing and I look forward to seeing them each class. Thank you so much for all that you do!!! You really made my online school experience amazing, I will miss you both dearly this fall!

I really appreciate Señora Lopez, I've had her as my Spanish teacher for 4 years, since 7th grade. I love that she connects with me and sends caring messages about how I'm doing good in class. Her classes are engaging and fun, I love her enthusiasm.

2026-04-23 21:16:42 UTC

Mrs. Runningen is a awesome teacher! I'm in her English 10 7th period class. I love the activities she has in class and her teaching style. I love that she has help sessions to check in every week.

2026-04-23 21:45:04 UTC

I want to thank Mr. Magner for being such a great teacher. :) I'm in his English 9 5th period class, and he truly notices every student's strengths, and is always willing to check-in, lend a helping hand, and motivate others to achieve what they set out to do. The strategies he teaches us in English are insanely helpful, and his lesson layouts are always awesome! Thank you!

Mrs. Speck was my 4th grade teacher I loved her she was fun and I saw a lot of old friends when I had Mrs. Speck.

Ms. Beckstrom was my 5th grade teacher it was really fun because it was her first year teaching and i remember reading A Wrinkle In Time with her and it was really fun!

Now I have Mrs. Wanous for ELA and its fun because she set up a system where we get points and one of the options for points is leading the class which is really fun!

I have Mrs. Hall for science and its fun getting to do expiraments.

I have Mrs. Peterson for history and first semester i had her for Keyboarding.

I have Mrs. Holey for math and she makes class fun by having games at the start of class.

I had Ms. Erickson for the first 2 or 3 months of the school year then Mr. Nicklay as a substitute and then we got Mr. Lueschen as our new Band and Choir teacher.

My favorite thing is when we have open house getting see my old friends and teachers! I love giving my teachers hugs because they play such an important role in my school and they kind loving and passionate.

I really appreciate my English 10 teacher, Mr. Magner. I have his class last period and it always brings up my mood. I want to thank you for everything you’ve done in class this year. To be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect from the class, since I was used to monotone teachers, but your energy and the way you teach have made a huge difference for me. Even though many didn't like the novel, I especially appreciated reading Fahrenheit 451. The way you broke down the story to better understand helped me a lot. I often struggle with getting a better understanding of what I'm reading and the way you explain things not only builds skills for us, but also makes every class engaging and fun. You don't just lecture, you actually make the stories feel relevant to what’s going on today. Many of our lessons helped me look at things from multiple perspectives and I think made me a better writer and reader. Thanks for being a teacher who actually listens and makes the classroom a place where I actually want to show up and work hard.

2026-04-24 16:26:43 UTC

I love all my teachers so much! They mean a lot to me.

I had or have my kindergarten teacher Mrs. Whittington, my 1st grade teacher Mrs. Revak, my 2nd & 3rd grade teacher Mrs. Herman & my current teacher that is my 4th grade teacher Mrs. Speck! my current helpers to Mrs. Speck, Mrs. Brenard & Mrs. Norby!

Thank you guys for being my teacher!

Ms. Harvey I really appreciate you and really wish I could keep having you as my teacher, I love how in class we still focus on the topic but also get off topic once in a while it makes being in class way more fun, I also love how talkative and cheerful you are and I can tell you enjoy doing what you do, so thank you so much for being the BEST teacher to me.💜

So by far in all the years I have been in MNVA my favorite teacher is Mr. Weyer's. I've learned so much about Global Studies and his approach to teaching brought all of us in Period 1 together. We have great discussions about currents events happening around the world and events that have happened from long ago. It's an early class but I look forward to being there. He's the reason. Gonna miss you next year!

Thank you for all your hard work and for being a great teacher!

See you in the BWCA someday!
