Ms. Donna Hess

For this year’s Teacher Appreciation Week I have chosen to honor math teacher Ms. Donna Hess. Ms. Hess has impacted me a lot throughout the two years I’ve had her as a teacher. She has taught me a lot of math skills, and she has always been there for me during any struggles. Ms. Hess is a very strong teacher because she is great at making the lessons enjoyable rather than just lecturing. Her positive energy and common jokes makes her class very fun. She also truly cares about her students and their well being. 

One of my favorite times that I had with Ms. Hess was during my freshman year and the COVID-19 pandemic when we were virtual for school. I had some trouble with a few of the concepts, and she was willing to go on Google Meets with me fairly late at night, a couple times being at 8:00 p.m. It was something that she certainly didn’t have to do for me, and the fact that she did makes her not only an amazing teacher, but an amazing person.
