Teacher”. I know my child has benefited more than a hundred times over from just spending one year in your classroom. May your spirit leave with us some of your patience and understanding, of each separate individual, whether it be child or adult.

her best.” “She was thoroughly competent, willing and able to help each one of her students.” “She was tolerant, with an understanding heart and forgiving nature, knowing that all children stumble now and then.” “She was enthusiastic about her work; her eyes lit up at the mention of ‘school’.” “She was never selfish with herself.” “She set an example that was an inspiration to her students, her student teachers, and fellow teachers.” We’re very glad we knew Sandra — even though it was a short time. It’s the giving and doing for somebody else On that, all life’s splendor depends And the joys of this life, when you sum them all up Are found in tbe making of Friends. Mrs. Robert Laudeman
