Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities

Reader reaction - May 6

This is Teacher Appreciation Week. We asked our readers to tell us about the teachers that have made the greatest impacts on their lives. Here's a sampling:

Cristin Stewart - For me it was two ladies who were my teachers that inspired my writing - Linda Rippee and Louise Shoemaker. I also have to mention Kelly Alford, who really taught me how to be understanding and never let me back away from my goals. She is the reason I do what I do. Her guidance and love.

Jessica Emerich - Cathy Langford was my fourth-grade teacher and she will forever have a special place in my heart. She's one of those teachers that leaves an impact on her students and a teacher you just don't forget.

Jennifer Lansford - Ditto for Mrs. Langford. I remember her reading "Hank the Cowdog" books after lunch in the best voices.

Tishia Ambroziak - Mrs. Deanna White. When I deployed last year she would send me updates on my daughter. My daughter adores Mrs. White and misses her pre-K class.
