Ms. Baird, Mrs. Galbreath, and Ms. Prewitt, you all have meant so much to my family over the years. I wish you a wonderful relaxing retirement. You have poured yourself into your students and the school. Hutchison was so special because of you. You will be missed. Ms. Galbreath, I love that you taught me, but most importantly the huge impact you had on Zabelle. She loved you more than any teacher to this point. You made a tremendous impact on her. I will always be grateful to you.

I bragged to a co-worker about Ms. Baird baking a cake for Latin students who made 100% on tests. I was never one to get one, sadly, but now I fully understand the Traditional Latin Mass without a translation card/ missal!
