One Remembered Staff
Member:
Mrs. Oakes
By Linda Muscella "Mrs.
Oakes taught me to be prepared for anything at anytime, she had a habit of
grading our notebooks without any notice. Also, if we got a 100% on a paper
she would put a smiley face in the zero's."

Miss Marple(Gr.2)
By Carla Doorman
"I did hold a grudge
on Miss Marple for awhile. We were in the trailers behind the school, and we
got a new student into class. Her name was also Carla. Miss Marple's
bright idea was to have everyone call me Carla Sue and her Carla. I was
embarrassed at the class knowing and using my middle name! she did however-
give me a certificate, which I still have, for 'not talking too much!' "

Mr. Reed(Gr.3)
By Christine Condi
"I loved all of the teachers that I had at
Allen school! My third grade teacher is still teaching there! Mr. Reed made
learning so much fun! I remember him reading us one of my favorite books,
Tales of Fourth Grade Nothing as we were ending our school year and
preparing for fourth grade. But I also remember being totally embarrassed in
Mr. Reed's class! One time when it snowed, my mom sent me to school in my
snow boots, but I had sneakers to change into once I arrived. As I was
changing my shoes, Mr. Reed, teasingly, announced, "PU! What smells!" Boy,
was that embarrassing!"

One Remembered Staff Member:
Mrs. Olandt(Gr.4)
By Carla Doorman
"I would have to say that Mrs. Olandt was
my favorite teacher. I remember her most being very kind and inspiring. A
recent memory.... I ran into Mrs. Olandt last year when I was in [my
daughter's] class (Mrs. Brown) doing Spotlight on. I had brought a scrapbook
that I had made from my childhood - and showed the kids pictures from when I
was at Allen. Mrs. Brown saw the class picture from fourth grade with Mrs.
Olandt - and commented that she was next door substituting. I went
over with my album, and she stood there rattling off the names of almost
every kid in the picture! She made comments about their habits, etc - and I
was amazed at her memory! Wow!"

One Remembered Staff Member:
Mrs. Cokus (Gr. 5)
By Carla Doorman
"Mrs. Cokus was also memorable - as she
was the only teacher who did a school play. We did Rowdy Kate, and I played
Annabelle. I think I had the shortest line of the whole play - (horrible
stage fright!). She was a cool teacher - and it was fun being on the third
floor. I always thought that was the best classroom in Allen - in the front
corner. [Currently Miss Green's room] We had a view of Allen Ave and the
side parking lot. Also that year, I was part of a group of students who were
pulled from the class to sit in the hallway and do a higher level of reading
work. That was cool - cause we thought we were hot stuff. "
