Comment From Teacher/Staff Member: Wayne’s mathematics teacher Margaret Burns had the following to say about him — “Wayne is a team player who is always willing to help out his classmates. Wayne is a dedicated student, who not only works hard everyday in the classroom but takes the initiative to extend his own learning independently. He is well rounded and involved in many extracurriculars at Gaudet. Wayne’s sincerity, kindness and positive energy makes everyone’s day better.”
Who I’d Like To Thank: “All the teachers that see the bright side of a student, see the best in me, and all the other students. The teachers that I have this year are a prime example. Mrs. Burns always sees the best in you and she is very kind. Mrs.Crowley is a really great teacher and she loves to push you to your best limit. Mrs. Bona is a good teacher. She uses great and new ways to teach and involve everyone in the class. Finally, we have Mrs. Sorel who is a great teacher who uses models to help me and the rest of the students better understand what happens in modern day phenomena. Although I only mention my current teachers, all the teachers and staff in Gaudet Middle School have a kind and positive attitude, and I am truly glad to be blessed with a great school environment.”
