From Julie Mangino, via Facebook: "Where to begin.....we have had children in the Heights schools since our oldest entered kindergarten at Roxboro in 1991! Our youngest is in fourth grade now. We have a ways to go........ We have experienced the best, most dedicated teachers over the years and it would be difficult to name all of them. All we can say is thank you so much for every day you engage our children and every lesson you make meaningful to them. The personal time, expense, and commitment to our children is amazing, we are grateful for everything you do every day!!! The success of our adult children, we can with confidence attribute so much of this to you!! Thank you Heights Teachers!!" 

 

From Michelle Mills, via Facebook: "Both Mr Russel and Mrs Meese are awesome. They have helped our daughter immensely. She has learned so much from them! Thank you" 

 

From Jennifer Fuller, via email: "In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week I wanted to speak on Mrs. Briggs, My son Parker Wilson’s Kindergarten teacher at Canterbury Elementary School. Mrs. Briggs is a FANTASTIC teacher! My son starting school was an exciting new beginning for him and our family. Mrs. Briggs made the transition so smooth and fun! She is readily available through the remind app as well as the seesaw app and often uploads what parker and his class is up to during the day. She sends videos and pictures when they are on field trips and during classroom activities which is great for working parents like me and Parkers Dad to see what is going on. I appreciate that she communicates with the parents frequently and is very clear and precise. Most importantly I am very thankful of her knowledge as a teacher. Parker is excelling in his learning and I know it is a direct reflection of having an amazing teacher who takes pride in what she does every day. So to Mrs. Briggs, The Wilson Family Appreciates you and everything you do on a daily basis!"
