Kathy was born to be a teacher. Even as she finishes her master’ degree in Reading this semester and develops her skills as a second grade teacher, it is her inner qualities that motivate her students to love learning. The children simply flock to her side as she opens windows to all the new and […]
Many years ago, I had Mr. Hugentobler as a cross-country running coach and Algebra teacher. He inspired those of us on the team by unifying us and encouraging us to push ourselves further than we thought was possible. Through his coaching, we grew to be a strong group in practice as well as during the […]

My daughter has had the most amazing experience within Mrs. Johnson’s third grade class at Trailside.

She started this year apprehensive […]
It was a very sad day at Whitesides Elementary in Layton when Mr. Hull announced that due to health reasons, he needed to retire. Mr. Hull taught my son in 3rd grade. He taught all the 3rd graders how to play the ukulele and they learned their times tables along with English rules to the […]
Dear Teacher Feature, The teacher that changed my life was Mrs. Stark. The reason why is that she set up a field trip to Salt Lake City to go to the Clark Planetarium and the Salt Lake City Library. The only way you could go is if you didn’t have any Fs, Ns, or Us. […]
Mr. Averill taught my son in 4th grade. He encourages the kids to look in the mirror and tell themselves they are good people. My son started 4th grade with a low self-esteem. By the 3rd week of school his opinion of himself increased. I can never repay him for that, every child should feel […]
One of my 10 year old son’s heroes isn’t a famous sports figure, religious leader, or even a family member; it is his 4th grade teacher Mr. Jeremy Ralphs. Mr. Ralphs is Canyon Elementary’s best kept secret. He is a quiet, unassuming, humble, young teacher, yet he exudes love for his students in a way […]
At first I couldn’t believe that my daughter’s math teacher, Linda Glazier, would stay after school for three hours helping my daughter to understand Algebra. After the third day, I thought to myself, “I have to go meet this person.” Not only did she say, “This is my job,” but she also said, “We will […]
Mr. Love has an amazing ability to bring excitement and joy into learning. Tyler, my 2nd grader, hated school and we were very concerned about his academic future. He is extremely bright, but his passion for learning was gone and it became a depressing fight every day to get him to school. He was only […]
How often can one person touch the life of not only one child, but also his family and all those involved in the beautiful event we call life. Miss Stacey Peterson came into our lives in a time when we needed her most. My son, Alec, had been treated for a cancerous brain tumor called […]

Yearly, he has the 7th grade students prepare […]

Coach Darrel Gardner is a special history and social dance teacher. He was also an excellent coach of the Track&Field and Cross Country teams.
