Risinger.. A Lovely Lady

Linda served on our Special Education Staff on our campus. She loved me being in ARDS with her, I kept meetings moving along. She would sometimes come into my room and listen to me teach. I asked her once about why certain troubled and behavior-deficient students were not coming into my class.. her reply: "Feeback, you work hard here, I take care of you." My favorite quote: "I like you, Feeback. You actually care about these students and you teach."

I heard from many teachers and staff members last night. Mr. Pena texted me, "she was a lovely lady."

Well said.

- Mr. Shoen: Emma's 8th Grade Science Teacher at DPJH. Extremely funny, who loves Mt. Dew!

- Mrs. Johnson: Jon Mark and Emma's 2nd Grade Teacher at Stamping Ground and Anne Mason Elementary. One of the nicest people I have ever known.
