Henry, you've always championed ALL students. This is a well-deserved spotlight on the work you have done over the years. SPHS is fortunate to have you!
Im a SP ED student and i have some problems and till this day i've been improving my grades and its going great and teachers support that i can get help and more support so i could understand the work i dont under stand of❤.
High school was a difficult time for me I was the first shorter than the girls 40 lbs overweight with crooked yellow teeth and a bad case of gas the ugliest girl in school would not give me the time of day so predictably I played with myself a lot and over time went blind
I am a 6th grader currently taking the 7th grade course in AVID, and it's not that bad. Just recently we went on a field trip to the university of Washington and we had a self guided tour on the college campus. Plenty of the kids in my grade don't like AVID, but I think that it's great, especially for people that are first generation college students because of what is teaches you but I think that almost everyone can benefit from taking the program.

We love you Mr. Trechter! You are without a doubt one of the best teachers all of us have ever had and I know you'll continue to make such an impact on students for years to come!
Thank you Steve for all you did for our family I know we are in a devastated spot homeless but you still pulled through thank for all you did for us thanks you for giving my kids good inspirational surrounding at ridgeview.
Our first teacher always included her paras, current teacher that up and quit yesterday didn't even want us to talk to kids that we had a great repoire with for several years. Some teachers are amazing, some need 100 percent control, its a sad situation.
I had a similar experience with my second grade teacher. We were supposed to draw a tree. Think lollipop tree. I drew a tree with lots of branches and colorful leaves. I was told that I didn't follow directions. The only directions were to draw a tree. I vowed to become a teacher because I didn't want to see kids being judged for being their creative selves.
In middle school (evergreen ), I went with a teacher to trainings where the founder came and taught us, then we took it back to school and taught others. Helped me memorize long speeches and presentations. Haven't done it since then, wish I still had my balls, it's so fun to just get lost in the rhythm sometimes.
Because teachers in 2024 have so much extra time and resources to do this, when they're not working at their second job to pay rent and student loans, doing the job of 20 parents in the classroom, and the work of 3 teachers and 2 administrators at their understaffed schools.
