She was my teacher at Kelloggsville Junior High School and I just loved her and her class. She was so smart and knowledgeable and ALWAYS had time to explain something I didn’t understand. Even though I was not a student who took my studies seriously as I should’ve, her care and kindness I will not forget. So you see she was teaching me even things I did not know I would want to use later in life. I will never forget her. RIP Ms Honton Job well done!
