Many teachers have been perfecting their in-person teaching methods for years, and in less than half a year they have managed to recreate their entire teaching style and the way they deliver education to our children.

And he is unafraid to call stu- dents out if they are doing something that might be stunting their learning. He goes above and beyond to assist his students in anything they might need, in or outside the classroom. Mr. O’Neill is a completely unique teacher — the teach- ing industry needs more like him.” — Grayce Williver “Mr. Larson is my social studies teacher — he always makes sure someone gets what he is teaching. For example, if someone raises their hand and says “this doesn’t make sense to me,” he will go over it again and make sure it makes sense. Last year I came to SMS knowing only a few people. He was very welcoming and kind to me. I remember thinking, “I’m gonna love his class.” I was right, Social Studies was/is my favorite class. Thanks to Mr. Larson, I have leaned about ancient Greece and Egypt. He is a very warm soul and has a very big heart. Mr. Larson is also very funny and the coolest teacher I have ever met. — Tori Burton suzanne@homeinsisters.com Your full-service tire store!
