Posted August 21, 2009

I would just like to commend Mrs. Griffin for being the only teacher that has ever made my son like to go to school, or to try to get better grades on his homework. Tonight I had to tell him one time to do his homework. This has never happened before. He talks very positively about Mrs. Griffin and the positive way that she teaches her class. She gives 'inspiring words' (he made me type that!) to everyone in the class. She calls my son 'Inspiring Indy.' He is all about being a boy and this encouragement has settled him down a lot. I cannot say thank you enough to the methods and efforts put forth by Mrs. Griffin. I hope she doesn't forget what an impact that she makes on her students. I know teaching is very demanding, but keep up the good work Mrs. Griffin. We all love you!
