Not sure what to say?

Mrs Leger was one of the best teachers I ever had in High School. I remember her being strict, but fair. I always looked forward to her class. Prayers and condolences to her family.

Ms. Legere:

All teachers could learn from you. You were the nicest most understanding teacher I have had the pleasure to know. Your smile was the light at the end of the hall. You are remembered in hearts of many students.....

Elise, Eric, Jimmy- So sorry to hear about "Mrs Ledge"- She was a gracious, lovely woman who we all learned so much from. My deepest condolences. The world has lost a class act.

She inspired in me a lifelong respect and love of the fine and performing arts. I remember so well her expression "man's inhumanity to man" to describe despicable acts like terrorism and war -- I've used the term myself ever since. She was a remarkable woman with the gift of being able to...

Mrs Legere was my favorite teacher. She encouraged me to follow my passion for performing arts and I continue to perform almost 40 years later. I encourage the youth who show the same spark she saw in me. She has remained in my heart all these years. Mrs Legere defined what a great teacher should be.
