Nominator: Steve Baldridge Riverside Elementary School The impact of a great teacher can be measured not in days or weeks, but in years, and even over an entire lifetime.

While driving me home from a date one evening, my soon-to-be husband suddenly pulled the car off to the side of the road and turned off the engine. Surprised, I turned to look at him. He told me that he needed to ask me an important question. His expression was serious as he then asked […]

There is nothing worse than your child coming to you and saying “I am the stupidest kid in my class.” My son is seven years old and just completed second grade. He has had a hard time picking up on reading. In trying to find help for him through the district, I was told normal […]

I only hope I can find the right words because “thank you” just doesn’t seem to say enough. Mrs. Schaefer is a 3rd grade teacher who came to St Olaf School last fall.
