Tomorrow afternoon around 3:00, I will walk the halls of Caldwell Elementary for the last time. My mind is flooded with so many wonderful memories from that school, starting with the very first time I ever walked on that campus and was met by friendly teachers knowing I was dropping off a kindergarten child for the first time ever....
One of my first memories was Stacey Jeanes. My son's kindergarten teacher and how she loved my son so very much. She was with him the day of 911. She on that very day became the nurturer I couldn't be for that horrific day in History.
I remember Mrs. Bowie. We will NEVER forget Mrs. Bowie. My son cried all summer long when he found out he got her, only to cry all the next summer to have to leave her. She did more for him in one year than most teachers do in a life time....She is and always will be Teacher of the Year in the Cox household.
Miss Bitter: Turned Ryan on to Biographies. He absolutely loves History because of what this teacher did for him.
Mrs. Malmstrom: Wasn't too sure about her...Only because all his friends were in other classes. And I was afraid she would be too soft for that class....It became REAL obvious real quick we were right where we should be. She was soft in the areas she needed to be, but expected greatness out of each and every student. It did not surprise us when she became Teacher of the Year......We still talk about her as a teacher.....
Coach Kemp: started a program called TOT....Ryan's ball handling skills improved so very much from this program. He absolutely loved TOT....Our only regret was not starting at the beginning. He would do the routines all the time around the house.....She took his basketball skill to a new level.....Now he wants to try out for basketball in Middle School.....
