A teacher that I would like to thank and shout out is Mrs. Colwell. I want to thank her for being such an amazing teacher that genuinely cares about her students. She is always there for me when I need to talk and she always helps me when I am struggling with something. Mrs. Colwell is a great example of the perfect teacher. She is kind and caring. Mrs. Colwell is always putting others above herself and always makes sure her students understand what she is teaching. There are plenty of times that she has sat down in the atrium and talked with me to check in on how I am doing. I always leave her class with a smile on my face. I very much appreciate Mrs. Colwell and wish her the best!
