Dear Polly,
I’m thrilled to see you on our website and also in the “Register”! After being in your classroom so recently, I can almost hear your interchange. How lucky your students are to have suce a creative teachers as you. I’m sure they will carry some of the knowledge you have imparted into their adult years. What a positive influence you are.

Polly, As a long-ago teacher, I am always inspired by your zeal and down-to-earth way of presenting what really makes a difference in lives. It catches on, too. God alone knows how many of your students have “caught” and been “caught” by Jesus. Those “catchings” can last a lifetime. Blessings on you and your past, present and future students!

I admire you, Polly! What a wonderful example you are to the students lucky enough to have you for their teacher. May you continue to have the energy to be that light you are to so many!

Congratulations, Polly. I love your pose – a real teacher style! I wish that every junior high student in the diocese could experience two years with you in their religion courses. How fortunate they would be. I had a tourist last month here at the Motherhouse who was very eager to ask me if I knew you and to tell me that she had you as a teacher at Sacred Heart Junior High. Keep up the good work. I know that it takes a lot of energy but what a pay-off.

Great recognition for a wonderful teacher of Gospel values! Thanks, Polly, for so faithfully sharing the Word with some of our most vulnerable.
