The teachers at my school really care for all the students. They put in a lot of time out of school to grade our papers and help us when we are struggling. Some even come and support our sport teams at the games. We are such a close community and I love it. They are willing to help with anything we need. They are welcoming when we come into the classroom. They seem very happy to be at work and are always trying new ways to engage us. They leave their classrooms open to us to come in during lunch and times like that for some extra help. They have tutoring for kids who may want it. The teachers are always trying to better their communication with us. I feel very happy in my school and I feel like my teachers truly care for me and want me to succeed and be the best I can be.
