To the Editor:
As a retired teacher, I was very happy to learn that the Fillmore graduates had visited their former grade schools and middle school to thank their teachers. It was a lovely thing for them to do. Teachers will never know how many lives they influenced. Some possibly saved. It is rare but wonderful to hear from a former student who expresses appreciation for what we did. Teachers have great power. They have the power to make or break a kid’s day; they have the power to make or break a kid’s life. May they always use the power well.
