“She is my favorite teacher ever, and her grandma died last weekend (its April 24th) and she still came to school and powered through. We do have a sub for 2 days for the funeral, but I wish it happened to me because a teacher (let’s be real, a person) like Mrs. Strader shouldn’t have to go through the pain of loosing someone close. But thats not the reason im here, im here because she is such a fun teacher and she gives us chances (like a lot, she’s the most patient person I know) when we aren’t prepared. She always make learning fun. I feel safe around her, and I always tell her what I dont fell safe saying to anyone else and she is always there for me. Please please please let her be honored she’s my favorite teacher/person and I will be extremely happy for her 🙂 she deserves the world.”
