Homeschool teachers r good also - bc we educating our children what they need to know not what the world wants our children to know - Jacque Yes I did I have some great teachers in Carmi

There were several great teachers in junior high and high school, but the ladies that really stand out in my memory were in elementary. I always felt valued and appreciated by each one of these teachers. Thank you for your dedication & for making such a lasting impression! Mrs. Terri Webb Wolfe, 1st Mrs. Terri Hardman (Barche), 3rd Mrs. Pat Gillenwater, 4th Mrs. Ruth Wilson, 5th

Your teachers have to be so proud of you!!!

Mrs. Carolyn Grahn was likely the most influential teacher at old North Clay High in my opinion.

probably my most influential teacher was in high school at flora, it was Mr. John Upton his building trades class taught me than just how to build a house, it taught you work ethic how to work together as a team on a job. I never became a house builder but I did become a home owner and things I learned in his class I still use today . if I would not have learned these things . it would cost me a fortune, thus is why we need more trades classes back in school especially now that colleges and universities are so outrageously expensive. when you can go into a apprenticeship program and start making a good living wage on day one. this is why I am now a school board member.

What band instrument did you play? Were you in the marching band??

I served with Allen Ritter in the IAVAT, Ag teacher professional organization and I agree that Allen was focused on helping kids. I believe Ag Education is a little unique in the tools we have to educate.

Mr. Barney from Newton IL made me want to be a PE teacher. Here I am today doing that exact thing. He was great.

Mrs. Douglas from Jefferson High School. She taught honors English and I adored her! She had a love for teaching and others. She had to leave due to cancer, which broke our hearts!

I remember all of those although I was a few years behind you. There were several very good teachers at north clay.

Mrs. Hopkins (from up North), Mrs. Workmen, Mr. Ed Dawkins, Mrs. Lancaster, so many of my teachers at North Clay. Also one very special thank you to Pamela Gish Greenwood THE teacher I wish I could of hired to teach my girls from kindergarten to senior year.

I go way back, Doris Jean Veremis. She was a stickler for proper grammar and good spelling and I appreciate that to this day.

Mrs. Peggy Van Dyke was the very best!!!

Dr. Stahl who inspired my interest in Social Studies & politics at the age of 12. He commanded respect & demanded we pay attention to everything.

When my son went to school down there he would have never graduated if it wasn’t for Ms. Cookie. She was the best she showed them kids and taught those kids more then anyone else could do. She had more patients then any one could ever have. She put up with a lot I am sure of it.

Mrs. Wilson and her daughter Jean Porter. They was my 5th grade and 3rd grade teachers.

Mrs. Ruth Wilson was a teacher for many years at Oskaloosa. I had her grades 1-5. She was great. I also had fond memories of Mrs. Cox and Mrs. Veremis at North Clay High School.

I had many good teachers in the Newark, Il schools. Ag teachers, physics,chemistry,and math. One algebra teacher, Mr. Gilbertsville, taught that Algebra didn't necessarily have to do with numbers, but it taught how to solve a problem. Never forgot that!!

In grade school it was 1st and 2nd grade Mrs. Leach, 3rd and 4th grade Mrs. Dawkins, and Miss Delaney high school English and Mrs. Verdie Cox high school math

I loved my 1st grade teacher. Mrs Yates. She’s passed now. I had an amazing English teacher in HS that really impacted me. I’ve never forgotten her.

I am a teacher because of Mrs. Shields, Mrs. McCord, and Mrs. Kirby!

Mrs. Tunison, 2nd grade teacher from White Hall Elementary School was a favorite. She showed me extra love as a little girl and always encouraged me to excel in my grades, and Mr. Ron Martin, high school English teacher at North Greene High School. Loved them both!

Mrs. Lisa Sackrider . She was my daughter's Kindergarten teacher when she was diagnosed with cancer. (her very 1st yr teaching) Lisa went above and beyond what any teacher would do for my little girl! She made sure her classroom was always clean and sanitized so it was safe for her to come to school. Her class video chatted on days that she was too sick to go. She even put together a Pep Rally in support of her and the entire school joined in. Even bought her the American Girl Cancer Doll. We are proud to say Olivia is 17 and 11yrs cancer free. Lisa will ALWAYS hold a special place in our hearts!!

Debra Korte Mary Walker my third grade teacher, my FFA advisor & AG Teacher and Cathy Emberton my Home Ec teacher in High School. In college Maria Boerngen she has the best attitude and love of teaching students!

Mr. Jones, Mrs. Burke, and Mr. Harris
