Julia, Cathedral parent
You have been a tremendous addition to the Cathedral Upper School Faculty and George is LOVING your English class!
Thank you for all of the support you continue to provide to George. His enthusiasm for English has been unmatched this
year and we are so appreciative.
Suzanne, Cathedral parent
Thank you for your help this year. We also appreciate your support and positive encouragement to give Joseph the confidence
to express his views and share his thoughts. Joseph is proud to see this academic note, as are we. Thank you!!
Ana, Cathedral parent
You have transformed
my son's love of writing and the humanities (I am convinced his turnaround happened with Just
Mercy, so some thanks go to Bryan Stevenson too :-) Even though Tom and I have been involved in
social causes since Sebastian was born, he had always been a "Math kid" and never displayed
much interest until about a year ago. He would have never cared about social
happenings had he not taken your class.
