Valerie on Mrs. Daren Stage – Fountain Valley, California
Runner Up
My Super Hero Teacher’s Name is Mrs. Stage. She teaches 7th grade science, but loves kids of any age. I’ve learned so much about life science, physiology and landmasses through learning from Mrs. Stage and doing activities in her classes. Since Mrs. Stage believes that hands-on activities help us learn, she guides us in memorable experiments and makes sure everyone has a turn. My recent open-heart surgery left me confused and scared. So, Mrs. Stage taught us how our hearts function and showed she really cared. We studied healthy lifestyles, nutrition, and exercise. She taught us to be drug-free and that smoking is unwise. I can’t think of any other class in which I’ve learned more. Mrs. Stage inspires me to become a nurse, because science is never a bore. I also have Mrs. Stage for home economics and clubs after school. Her door stays open all day for extra help—she is so cool! We took home automated babies that cried at night. Mrs. Stage showed us the responsibility of raising a child right. My Super Hero Teacher will always be Mrs. Stage. In the newspapers, she deserves to be on the front page!
