Teacher Appreciations

Dear Mr. Na, Thank you for being such a fun and cool teacher. My sophomore year wouldn’t be a blast without you! I was always looking forward to going to your class because of the fun things we were learning. I remember all the annotations we did, which made me look at things differently and made me think deeper. I learned a lot in your class, and I want to thank you for all your hard work, mostly during this pandemic. Although I learned a lot in your class, one of them was how to write a haiku

Dear Queen Banack of Banackland, I have discovered that it is teacher appreciation week and I would like to tell you that I very much appreciate you. Although I only see you for on average 3 hours a week, I can confidently and proudly say that you are one of the teachers that I will forever brag about. For example, if I got into a conversation where we talk about teachers that inspired me, I’d bring you up because every time I zoom into your class (please take a moment to appreciate my amazing

Dear Mr. Glassford, Hello! It’s Vivian Nguyen (from Pre-Med Club or from your Chemistry class in 2018-2019). I hope this email finds you well. I just wanted to say thank you for everything that you’ve done for both the club and in class. You honestly made my sophomore year better. I am so grateful that I ended off the day with 6th-period chemistry. It was such a fun class, and your teaching was awesome. I appreciated how you were able to joke around with us and were serious when needed to be. It

When I was an 8th grader, writing essays were my biggest fears, and I would think it was my fault because maybe I didn’t pay enough attention when they would explain how to write them, but after being able to write essays in your class, I realized that I just needed a great teacher who knows how to explain things to teach me. Not only have you helped me with writing essays and so much more things in English, but you have helped me open my eyes and to look at the world from different perspectives

Hi Mr. Holleman, I hope this letter finds you well. This is Ethan Cheng, one of your students from 2019. I would like to take some time and tell you that I appreciate your constant efforts in teaching PE here at Independence. Your class was a fun time to get out of the stressful classroom environment and mentally reset for the rest of my long day. It definitely helped me during my track and cross country season, being able to get out and move/stretch my legs instead of being tucked in a

HI MS. WESTLAKE!!!!! I just wanted to say thank you. You are legitimately one of my favorite teachers here at Independence and one that I will definitely miss when I leave. You were one of the few adult figures I could really talk to about anything, as well as one of the only ones that I could just talk and always laugh with. I’m sure you know this, but every time we see each other, you always yell “KATIE TRAN!” And honestly, every time you do that it brightens my day. I remember one day I was

Hi Ms. Mchugh, Thank you so much for this past school year. It’s been really fun learning in your class. I made so many new friends because you put us in a lot of different breakout rooms. I love your class, and I look forward to it because our class talks a lot. The projects are intriguing too because we get to experience working with several people. Talking and visiting you boosted my energy up too because you are always so happy, which makes me happy too. :) You encourage us to do our best
