April 2005: Mrs. Joyce Gates

Letter from nominating student:

My teacher is the best I have ever had out of al lthe years I have been in school. I would really like for her to be teacher of the month because she trys her hardest for us to understand something that we don't understand. Mrs. Gates will NOT let us go on until all us students understand what she is trying to teach us because whatever she is teaching us, we have to know. She also wants us to grow up with a good education and have a good job. The school that I go to is Farwell Elementary in Mead, WA. My teachers name is Mrs. Gates.

Principal Quote:

"Mrs. Gates is a teacher who has dedicated her life to education. Each year she creates a special place for her students to learn to grow"
