This is the first grad party that I have attended.  I have not accepted invites in the past.  By knowing that there'll be other teachers and parents at this party, I was happy to attend.  Seeing many current and former students and parents made this a memorable event.  Congratulations to this group of wonderful young men.  (From June 5th, 2021)

Book from Sarah

I had the pleasure of having Sarah visit my room on graduation night during her freshman year.  She was a band kid who visited my classroom to eat leftover pizza.  Then, she was in my Integrated Math III class in her sophomore year, my AP Calc class during her junior year, and was in my AP Stats class this year.  I'll miss you Sarah, thank you for the book!  Good luck on your studies in data science at UCSD.  (From 6/10/21)

Cookies from Emma

Thank you Emma for visiting me on your last day of high school.  Good luck in Texas!  (From June 3rd, 2021)

I received this surprise grad card from my former student Emma.  Two years ago, I had the pleasure of having Emma in my Integrated Math III class.  Last year, Emma would visit me during lunch for tutoring while she was taking Pre-Calculus Honors with another teacher.  I always welcomed her and looked forward to doing math with her.  Her parents are extremely supportive as well.  This year, I wrote a letter of recommendation for her and I am happy to see her going to her dream university.  (From May 26th, 2021)
