We asked for your shout-outs, and we’ve received THOUSANDS! 🍎 Thank you for brightening our teachers’ week. Here is a special message for Nicholas Motta at Jolliff Middle:
“Mr. Motta was my sixth grade civics teacher and it was his first year teaching at Jolliff. He made my year in sixth grade one of the best ones to date for middle school. The humor he had, the funny memories I have of that class; it was so un-serious at times that it made me laugh harder than I had ever in my entire life. Mr. Motta was definitely my favorite teacher to date and I would go back to that class any day of the week just to talk to him.” - A Student
