I had the amazing opportunity to have Mr. Carney as my 1st grade teacher and he was and forever will be my favorite teacher ever. He made everyone laugh and smile and most of all happy. I also had Mrs.Carney for 3rd grade and she was super amazing as well. My prayers are with the Carney family forever and always. <3
