is Mrs. Russell’s because

“she has a way of inspiring

students to learn and ac-

By: Ja’Nyia Swindell and Hailey Yebra

With Mrs. Stewart’s first day being fast and furious with a

lot of faces to learn, she thought it was a good day overall.

You would have never thought that such a great teacher

would have struggled in school, but she did. She was a very

wiggly kid and dyslexic. One of her teachers in middle

school made her feel smart and she was inspired by that.

Mrs. Stewart said, “I wanted to be that teacher for some-

one else.” In middle school she wanted to be a veterinari-

an like many kids. Besides binge watching Netflix, her fa-

vorite thing to do outside of school is to read her favorite

books!

Thanks for all you do, teachers!

JMS Journal

Dr. Gardner has had a great

year so far. He said that with his amazing group of

students his first day went very smooth. He also said

that he is looking forward to seeing his students ac-

complish great things this year. Although he’s a li-

censed chiropractor, things have not worked in that

direction. Therefore, God led him to teaching. Dur-

ing his life as a student he had amazing teachers. He

believes that their encouragement and support led

him to become the teacher he is today. In middle

school Dr. G wanted to be an astronaut, a world class

scientist, or a drummer in a rock band. Some things

he does to pass time is spending time with his be-

loved wife and playing golf whenever he has the

chance.
