Hood Ave. | 541-549-0866 “Elisa Halemeier (6th grade sci- ence) went above and beyond to get to know her students, first surprising me by inquiring how an extra-curricu- lar activity she knew my daughter was nervous about went, next by getting teary with pride, about MY daughter, at conference time. Her passionate recorded lessons and regular zoom check-ins showed her continued investment and concern during distance learning last Spring.” — Regan Roberts “Hello, my name is Chase Frankl, I am currently a Junior at Sisters High School and I would like to honor Ada Chao. Ada Laoshi has not only gone out of her way to allow me to take a much-needed language credit but goes about it in the most gracious way possible. On top of that, she is one of the most caring teachers at the high school and seems to genuinely enjoy teaching students Chinese. Thank you for giving me the opportu- nity to share how special Ada Laoshi is. ” — Chase Frankl “Mr. Bradley’s passion for teaching and his contagious warmth and love of life inspire all who cross his path. He makes learning fun and interest- ing, while also sharing in-depth knowledge of his subject. He is the absolute best teacher we have had in the Sisters school system since our son entered SES in 4th grade. Thank you to Mr. Bradley for being an example of integrity, character and love of life! — Jacquelyn Ekern “I would like to honor Ms. Julie Patton as an outstanding teacher at Sisters Middle School. She taught my now-11th grader during his four years at SMS and is now homeroom teacher to my 5th grade student. Straight out of the gates with this crazy new school year, Ms. Patton is enthusiastic, engaging, and incredibly patient with her students. Through her Zoom classes, my 5th grader is motivated and happy to log in each morning. Ms. Patton sets an upbeat mood each morning for my child to embrace her class and his following classes with Ms. Tisdel and Ms. Young, also two outstanding teachers we are lucky enough to have here in Sisters teaching our children. I myself can’t imagine the challenges teaching our children during this time of the pandemic. I am extra thankful for our one-of-a-kind teachers here in Sisters.” — Lee Huff man “I nominate Gail Greaney. She is a brilliant educator who crafts curriculum and a learning environ- ment which inspires students to think and delve into learning at a high level. She teaches students to really understand a topic from mul- tiple perspectives before deciding what to think. Students are chal- lenged in her classes and then rise to levels they never thought possible, growing and expanding their minds. She inspires me to be a better teacher too.” — Rima Givot - High School Astronomy / Biology Teacher GET ALL YOUR OUTLAW GEAR HERE 121 W.
