Ames, Who's Your Favorite Teacher?
Patch wants to give a shout out to all the great teachers out there who are changing kids' lives. Help us tell the story of great education in Ames.
We all have a favorite, a teacher who changed our lives with a word of encouragement or a kind word.
For me, it was Elizabeth Rolf, who mentioned to my mother her kid had writing talent and arranged for a tour of the Northwest Missouri State University college journalism department.
What’s your favorite teacher story? How did a teacher change your life?
May 8 is National Teacher Day. We want to celebrate the teachers in your life. Here’s your part:
Upload an essay under social notes. Post a photo or video tribute. Or tell us in comments boxes below how a teacher made a difference in your life or the life of your child.
