Our Wildwood, Volume 54

“” OVER THE YEARS, MY MOM HAS SEEN HER STUDENTS BECOME DOCTORS, LAWYERS, ARTISTS, AND PARENTS. YET, BEFORE ANY OF THESE ACCOMPLISHMENTS, SHE SAW THEIR HEARTS. —RACHEL HEDGEPATH ‘13

“” Mrs. H is an excellent teacher who is the epitome of all things Wildwood. She always has a little saying up her sleeve to help us remember to be the best version of ourselves we possibly can. She reminds us that failure is an option, but only once. Mrs. H has taught me how to show up to class and jump right into the learning. If I had to describe her in a couple of words, I’d say “encouraging, philosophical, and loving”. Mrs. H has made my transition into middle school so easy.

—HENRY B. ‘32

“” Mrs. H is a welcoming and kind person. She always makes sure every student is working at their fullest potential and gives feedback when she thinks there’s room for improvement. She approaches topics with grace, passion, and a willingness to discuss any topic. As a student, it was such a special experience to have someone so thoughtful and empowering as a teacher. One thing I love about Mrs. H is that she hugs me every day when we see each other. Mrs. H taught me that there are so many different ways to view the things that are happening in the world.
