“Mrs. Larsen is an incredible teacher! She is the choir director at South Davis Junior High, and she is fantastic at what she does. Mrs. Larsen is very talented at singing and directing and is a member of the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square.
Along with being a fantastic director, Mrs. Larsen is a wonderful person. She always shows up to class with a big smile on her face and a joke to tell. She is very kind and understanding. It does not take long to see that she loves what she does and has a passion for it. She wants her students to learn and grow their love for music as she has herself. We are so grateful for the opportunities that Mrs. Larsen has provided in the past couple of years. She has made it possible for her choir students to sing at the State Capital Building, as well as sing at festivals and participate in solo and ensemble. She loves to see her students succeed and shows them how proud she is of their hard work. Mrs. Larsen deserves so much praise and love for all she has done for these kids. We appreciate her and love her so much!”
