Brad Henry, an Oklahoma governor, said, “A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.”  This describes JT Collett.  With his quiet, calm demeanor he inspires, encourages and enables students to succeed in his classes.  Students know he cares about them because when they talk to him he gives them his undivided attention.  He really listens.  He is always willing to help others, often dropping what he is working on.  He helps students ignite their imaginations as he teaches them to problem solve.

Many of you know that I shared a classroom with Lori Marett for six years before she became the library media specialist at our school.  Before that, I worked with her at Springville Middle School when she started substitute teaching.  I first knew Lori as a neighbor and a friend when I moved to Mapleton.  Over the course of sixteen years, I have had the opportunity to see Lori in a variety of roles and learn from her example as an educator and a person.
