Ms. Schneider always told me I was the best (probably one of the thousands she had said that to). She just knew how to make a student feel good. By her saying that, I grew to love going to theatre class (so much so that I had run out of classes to take with her, so my senior year, I repeated a class I already took). I had so much respect for her. She was very real when she spoke to a class or to you privately. I remember the year the school did Wizard of Oz, MS. Schneider asked some of us football players to be in the play, which I think all of us were happy to help out. I remember opening up the program they hand out and looking at the area where people were recognized for their monetary donations and sure enough there was a donation with the words Joey Andersen, you're the best (not sure of the exact wording in the program). It was anonymous, but I knew it had to be from her. There were so many times I wanted to stop at her house on my way to work ( I'm now a teacher at Wallenpaupack, Ms. Schneider being a big inspiration) but wasn't sure if she would remember me. I regret that now but just want to thank Ms. Schneider for everything. You were the best.
