Ok, so maybe I am biased since she is my mother, but Mrs. Kridler is truely the most caring and wonderful math teacher I have ever had, and the best mother a girl could ask for!

I was quite nervous starting my career teaching at the Girls' Middle School. Although she probably doesn't know this, Debbie has been the most outstanding mentor and role model I have ever had.
