The teachers at P.A. seem to care about the students as if they were their own sons and daughters, and in many cases they actually were. Having a parent who worked at P.A. had some major advantages and disadvantages. It was an easy way for a student to get drink money, and a parent's room A Proud Mother.

Junior Derek King com- mented, When I need money, I only have to go to my mother's room, which makes it easy if I've forgotten things. My mom always finds out if I get in trouble, complained freshman Amy Noble. Middle 'school teacher Mrs. Marsha Tennant explained, Having my daughter at the school where I work does put some limitations on our in-school relationship. The word was passed along quickly if a teacher's child was doing badly in a subject. Many students with parents at school didn't like this and found it hard to keep the word from spreading. But the parents who were teachers also had their problems and joys. Jour- nalism and English teacher Mrs. Phyllis Cordon explained, I was glad I could be there for my children when they were sick or upset. Sometimes I felt they got to dependant, though. Caring was a special element of teaching at Pulaski Academy. This caring truly started at home for some teachers and students. First grader Justin Cordon said, I like having my mom teach at P.A., but I don't like all the work she has to take home. l I Facultyylgj:

aculty More than just teachers Although the faculty at Pulaski Academy is a group of incredible teachers, they are also much more than that to the students. Often teachers are found in their rooms giving extra help to students during break, lunch, study halls, and even after school. But the faculty is interested in and involved with the students' lives as well as their studies. The P.A. faculty gives their students a lot of time and love too. Mrs. Emily Faulkner believes for good mental health, you need at least twelve hugs a day! Shelly Swan, kinder- gartner, said, I know my teacher loves me because she hugs me! Students in lower school find that a big hug is usually the best remedy for cuts, bruises, and also hurt feelings. In the upper school, a teacher is a friend to talk to, share with, sometimes to cry with, and even borrow money from! Many of our teachers are also known as mom to their students. Senior Les Lewis, who has attended P.A. since kndergarten said, I've had many good teachers that have also been good friends. Our teachers also strive to make school and learning fun and interesting. Jill Hasson, fifth grader said, My teacher really makes work fun! We get to go on field trips, have parties, build gingerbread houses, and play games! gt., .W . 2 , F 1 Several teachers also sponsor school clubs and activities. They even chaperone school dances! fthat's bravelj All of these take up time and energy during and after school. The friendship between the teachers and the students is evident in that many people return after graduat- ing from P.A. to visit and keep in touch with their teachers. Good Samaritan.
