She introduced me to theatre and I can’t thank her enough for that. I’ve known her since I was a shy kid who could’ve never imagined being where I’d be today. Mrs. Veselka saw the potential in me and has taught me to be the best person I can be,” sophomore Desi Quenzer.

She treats us with the love and respect that she would give her own children. She not only teaches us acting skills but skills for how to be better humans. I'm so thankful for her and for all of her hard work, support, and kindness.” - Lauren Gurney, Senior ]]> 2022-05-23 22:13:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sianwu79/soi4v12jdzbz35cl/wish/2196560384 https://padlet.com/sianwu79/soi4v12jdzbz35cl/wish/2196560549 “My favorite part about working with Mrs. Veselka is that she takes the time to work with every student on perfecting what they are doing, whether they are the main character or just in the background of a scene.” - Ender Johnson, Senior]]> 2022-05-23 22:14:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sianwu79/soi4v12jdzbz35cl/wish/2196560549 https://padlet.com/sianwu79/soi4v12jdzbz35cl/wish/2196560850 “Ruth Veselka is more than just our director or our teacher, she is someone you can always turn to for anything; advice, comfort, or just a friend. Even though she grew up decades before us, she has grown with each generation and is so respectful of the people we are becoming. She teaches us how to be kind and responsible human beings. She sees when others are struggling and is mindful of that. She always has more faith and trust in you than you have in yourself. As I’ve grown, she’s been the person I want to grow up to be.” - Maren Baugh, Senior]]> 2022-05-23 22:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sianwu79/soi4v12jdzbz35cl/wish/2196560850 https://padlet.com/sianwu79/soi4v12jdzbz35cl/wish/2196560964 “Mrs. Veselka is always inclusive. She doesn’t care if you have been at the school for years or are brand new. Everyone is given a chance to audition. Mrs. Veselka is very motherly in her role as a director; she gives us the constructive criticism we need but allows us to be our own actors on stage. She realizes that the play belongs to the cast and is always proud of us no matter what.” - Kaisa Oja, Senior]]> 2022-05-23 22:14:55 UTC https://padlet.com/sianwu79/soi4v12jdzbz35cl/wish/2196560964 https://padlet.com/sianwu79/soi4v12jdzbz35cl/wish/2196561198 “Mrs. Veselka is an amazing teacher. She's helped me not only on stage but off of it as well. She's always kind, strong, and caring. One instance that comes to mind is after three guys in 7th grade tried to attack me for being trans. She hugged me while I cried, and has always supported me whenever I need anything at all. She's such an amazing person and I think the world needs more women like her.” - Tyler Finch, Sophomore ]]> 2022-05-23 22:15:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sianwu79/soi4v12jdzbz35cl/wish/2196561198 https://padlet.com/sianwu79/soi4v12jdzbz35cl/wish/2196561308 “I don’t know if I can even put into words how much Mrs. Veselka means to me. She took me under her wing when I was a lost, angry thirteen-year-old grappling with the death of my mother and became the surrogate mom I desperately needed. She has changed me as a person, showing me love, kindness and support and helping me to discover my love for theater in the process. I cannot thank Mrs. Veselka enough for her guidance and encouragement and helping me find my place in the world.” - Aiden Hochstatter, Junior]]> 2022-05-23 22:15:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sianwu79/soi4v12jdzbz35cl/wish/2196561308 https://padlet.com/sianwu79/soi4v12jdzbz35cl/wish/2196561401 “Outside of my parents, Mrs. Veselka has been the most influential adult in my life for the past six years. She just has this profound belief in all of us that is vital to our lives and our growth, but so hard to find in many teachers. I’m proud to be one of the countless actors who she has helped grow over the years.” - Lucas Cone, Senior]]> 2022-05-23 22:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sianwu79/soi4v12jdzbz35cl/wish/2196561401
