My Favorite Teacher
By: Grace Garrison, Oologah-Talala 6th grade
I would have to say my favorite teacher is Mrs. Hardy. She makes school fun!! Every time she calls name roll, she always asks questions like what’s your favorite candy bar? Or who would you like to meet WHEN you get older? She is nice, fun, helping, and she is tall and pretty!
The funnest part is when she likes OUSU L and when I LIKE OU J! We always have challenges together. For example, one part of the room that likes OSU goes to one side and the rest of the class that likes OU goes to the other side of the room! And we see who can scream OU and OSU better? The rest of the day we just have fun! So Mrs. Hardy deserves the $50 gift card. She has worked hard and what do you get when you work hard?? A reward!! I don’t care if I get a prize or not, but Mrs. Hardy deserves it! Thank you for giving me this opportunity!

Mrs. Cegielski
By: Cassandra (Cassie) Prazak, Verdigris Middle School
Mrs. Cegielski is my American History teacher! I love history and she teaches it very well. In history class we take lots of notes and tests so I study a lot and she makes sure we wrote down the notes that we need to learn and know for the test.
When I first came here, about two weeks ago, she told me not to worry about the notes that the other had been taking, she said that she will copy a student’s notes for me, so I had something to study for the test. Right now, we are learning about all the different acts that the 13 colonies had to go through like, the tea act, the sugar act, the stamp act, the Townshend act, and coercive or intolerable act. She is strict about messing around just like any other teacher and she is nice, very nice. I think that she could be a college history teacher!
