 My Favorite Elementary School Teacher
“I remember my 5th-grade teacher at Northridge Elementary School. Ms. Vaughn was a great teacher who taught me a lot. She gave me many of the basic tools to go to middle school and sharpened tools I already had. She saw something in me and wanted to bring it out. She was a very important influence in helping me become the person I am today.”
—Eric, Putnam City High School
 My Favorite Elementary Teacher
“The elementary teacher who made the most difference in my life was Ms. Martin, the music teacher at Overholser Elementary. She was an amazing teacher. She taught me so much more that just music. Truly, she was a mentor. I looked up to her and often went to her just to talk. She changed my life, and I will always be grateful.”

My Favorite Elementary Teacher
“Ms. Capps was my 3rd-grade teacher at Windsor Hills Elementary. She always pushed me to do my best. She was always inspiring and always believed in me. Having her as a teacher and being someone in my life has helped me become who I am today. I always try my hardest and have a positive attitude, and those are things she taught me.”

 My Favorite Elementary Teacher
“My art teacher through elementary school was Ms. Mock at Lake Park. Looking back, I realize just how much she helped me learn to take risks. Even if I didn’t think I could do something, she always pushed me to go for it. I still go back and see her, and we discuss decisions and talk about the future. She helped shape me into who I am today. She’s been so much more than an art teacher to me.”

“My 5th-grade teacher at Tulakes Elementary, Ms. Meek, was so cool. She made me work hard and she showed me how hard work can pay off. For that and for how fun her class was, I will always love her.”

 My Favorite Elementary Teacher
“My favorite teacher of all time is Ms. Tidwell at Kirkland Elementary School. She always made the class fun and interesting. She pushed me to do my best, and made all of us ready for what was to come in middle school. She wouldn’t let us fail. I always loved helping her after school because I really got to know what an amazing person and teacher she is.”
