I’ll tell the
“It is time for some
common sense to
kick in.”
What do you want to tell the world about Mrs. Stuckey?
No matter what, she does her best to care for her students
and plan fun events for the students to participate in.
Favorite Memory: During squad leader camp, we went to
the DCI competition and I shared my big bucket of popcorn
with her while she told me about her favorite bands
participating at the event.
Admire Most: Her enthusiasm because it is really evident in
her teaching and it is what makes band fun and enjoyable.
What do you want to tell the world about this
student? Olivia is hardworking and has a great
sense of humor. She can appear shy, but has a quiet
strength that shines out, sometimes unexpectedly.
And Olivia has always had her own sense of “self”
and never tried to imitate or be one of the “crowd.”
Olivia plans to attend
UT Tyler and major in
biochemistry.
Fun Fact About Olivia: I want to write a novel
based on stories from my travels.
Favorite Memory: One of my favorite memories was
when she dressed up as me for a dress up day during
homecoming week. She carried a coffee mug with one
of my favorite sayings: “You’re killing me smalls!” I still
have the mug on my desk.
And she usually helps replenish my never ending
supply of “Stuckeymints.”
Olivia, To see this e-mail was unexpected. I am honored to be your choice for most influential teacher. I have
enjoyed watching you blossom over the years both as a musician and as a person. I hope you keep your sense
of self. It’s one of my favorite things about you. You are unapologetically your own person and are not afraid to
be yourself. I wish you all the best after graduation.
Love, Mrs. Stuckey
