The teachers I had at Far Brook will forever be in my heart. I could always go to ANY teacher for help and guidance and I felt like I knew them all very well because of the tight knit environment. Because every teacher gets to see you grow up, you become very close and attached to all of the teachers. It is a difficult goodbye in eighth grade.
