My condolences to Mr. Clark??s family. I say Mr. Clark because he was my 5th grade math teacher. Mr. Clark was an amazing teacher, and I would credit him for my newfound love of math. When I went to middle school in 6th I was placed in an advanced math class. Mr. Clark would tell our class he guaranteed we would succeed and receive an A on our final math exam. Sure enough, we all did. Mr. Clark had such a kind heart. He would tell us stories of Michigan??s Football Team, and display his excitement for their wins. He would find any opportunity to make our day better. Mr. Clark always wanted us to be comfortable in his class. Once again, I would like to send my thoughts and prayers to Mr. Clark??s family and friends. He will be missed by all of his students. -Jorge Rodriguez
