❤️ FROM THE HEART 📝 | We invited seniors to write a letter to their favorite teacher. For #TeacherAppreciationWeek, we're sharing a few of the heartfelt responses.

"There were days when I needed more than just a teacher, and somehow, you always knew."

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week.  To: Mrs. Lopez. Fern Creek High School  Dear Mrs. Lopez,   I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything you've done for me. When I look back on my high school experience, I don’t think about or talk about my grade in your class, but rather, I remember and talk about you. There were days when I needed more than just a teacher, and somehow, you always knew. You are someone who listens without judging, someone who can make anyone feel safe and welcome.   Now, as I’m about to graduate high school, I can wholeheartedly say you were one of the most important people in my high school journey. You changed me in ways I didn’t even realize at the time. You made me realize that I really can do anything I put my mind to. I don't think I've said it enough and I will continue to say it, thank you Mrs. Lopez.  From Itzel R.  12th Grade Fern Creek High School
If your student is in the Auto Services or METAL Academy please arrive before 1:15 pm on their designated day. If your student is in Freshman or BLA Academy please arrive before 9:15 am on their designated day. Every guest will have to go through our weapon's detection system before entering the building.
