It has been a pleasure working with Mrs. Thiel over the years. She was always willing and ready to help out and very considerate of the other faculty members. I’m sorry to see her leave, but I'm sure she will enjoy her retirement. Don Meinen Mrs. Thiel has always been a dedicated and thorough teacher. Her students have always received a good foundation in mathematics. Howard Elrod It is amazing that someone who has taught math at the junior high level can maintain a sense of humor. Chris Sanderson Mrs. Thiel was always there when you needed help and she always had control of her class which made the classroom a better learning environment. Good Luck in retirement! Thanks! Cheryl Maly Fellow teachers will miss Mrs. Thiel for her personal support through both good times and bad. Her goals for performance by her students have consistently sent eighth graders who are ready for high school. Her ex- amples of concern and dependability could well be emulated by all of us. May she have a long and happy retirement!!! Mrs. Thiel has always been helpful and patient, no matter how dumb my mistakes were. I have really enjoyed having her for my teacher this year. Thanks! Esme Bieberly Pearl has always been the one that I could turn to when I needed help with my classes. She is always available when it comes to helping students or the rest of the staff. I. for one. am really going to miss her next year!! Laurel Merkwan As parents we will miss your dedication of teaching math to your students. As fellow faculty members we will miss your cooperation, expert advice and company both inside and “outside. We wish you the best!! Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson Because of Mrs. Thiel I gained confidence in my ability to do math and ended up going to the School of Mines to major in Computer Science. Scott Leiferman I met Pearl when I became junior high secretary nine years ago. She has been a friend of mine ever since. I shall miss teaching with her after she leaves. Corrine Leiferman Mrs. Thiel really helps the kids with their math and she really explains the problems we have. She is a very un- derstanding teacher. We will miss her next year! Good Luck in the future. Vanessa Vlasman One of the reasons that I am proud to be an educator is the fact that I have the opportunity to work with teachers like Pearl Thiel. She has given excellent instruction to so many hundreds of students and has been such an impor- tant part of our school and community. I hope people en- tering the teacher profession will take note of the exam- ples that Pearl Thiel has set. Duane Roehrick Mrs. Thiel is a kind person, who wants to help every- one in everyway. She is a very good math teacher at all times. We will all miss her next year. Good Luck in the future Mrs. Thiel! Tammy Gebhardt Mrs. Thiel is a real great teacher. She made me come to love math. Anytime you needed help, she was there. Thanks! Shannon Knippling Mrs. Thiel has been my teaching partner in junior high since I came to Chamberlain. Whether we shared classes and classrooms or merely taught next door, we could al- ways count on Pearl to do the extra bit to help us. We'll miss her steadfast support and wish her a long, healthy, enjoyable retirement. Phylis Brunken 2 Student Life
