Mrs.BravoHasTraveled Around The World Many of us had Mrs. Bravo for IPS in ninth grade, but we may not know that she has travel- led around the world. She has visited schools in the Far East, where education is not compul- sory. She felt that because of this they work harder at their education and appreciate it more. Mrs. Bravo loves teaching. She marvels at the potential of the kids. She feels the most re- warding aspect of teaching is watching the stu- dents grow up. She meets us when we come in as ninth graders and watches us mature to seniors. Outside the classroom, Mrs. Bravo spoils her four precocious grandchildren. She enjoys cooking, sewing, andmacrame. Anyone who has ever been in her classroom would realize that she loves plants as well as her students. Mr. Baker, where are your safety glasses?
