NOMINATED BY:

MACI’S LETTER:
Mrs. Keller is so kind to all students. I have never heard her raise her voice a single time. She is very gentle and caring with students. When a student thinks they have a boo-boo, Mrs. Keller shows great concern and tells the student what to do to take care of that boo-boo. She teaches students new games and is concerned about their personal health. She teaches students of all abilities and includes special need students in all courses. She gives personal care and attention to each student to include them.

Hair of the dog, man – that works every time"

Jay Leno tells PEOPLE magazine that despite rumors, his recent injuries were not from getting beaten up by the mob due to gambling debts. "Well, I like the idea that they wouldn’t just take one of my cars for the gambling debt. I don’t gamble. Losing 100 bucks makes me feel stupider than winning one thousand makes me feel good. Because I go, ‘I could have taken my wife to dinner.' "
