NATIONAL TEACHER APPRECIATION DAY Minority Leader Thissen Honors Mrs. Stickles
Today I honor my favorite teacher, Mrs. Stickles. In 5th grade, she opened whole new worlds to me. Not only did she teach me core subjects like math and reading, but she was also my music teacher. She encouraged me to pursue my interest in music and connected me with people outside of school to learn to play the piano and sing.
The greatest gift she gave me, though, was a love and passion for reading. Mrs. Stickles loved to read and she shared that love with her students, inspiring us to enjoy the great stories the world of fiction opens to us. I still love to read.
Thank you, Mrs. Stickles, for giving me the best gifts a teacher can give to students – inspiration to try new things and read great books.
