LETTER: Teachers’ imagination, passion make things happen

“Taking flight: PT students expand skills during mentoring program” (PDN, March 5) is a wonderful article by Jeannie McMacken.

The Early Release Wednesday Tutoring and Enrichment Program was conceived by Blue Heron Principal Patrick Gaffney and designed and implemented by two passionate and creative Blue Herron teachers, Jennifer Manning and Leslie Shively.

Skillmation is honored to supply talented mentors who truly abound in Jefferson County, but it is always the energy and dedication of outstanding teachers like Jen and Leslie who add the necessary imagination and passion to get programs such as these off the ground for our local kids.
