Janet P. Rae

Janet was a natural teacher and a perfect fit for middle school kids. She lead them to create beautiful works of art. Her end of the year parties were legendary. I´m so glad I got to know and work with her over the years. She was a gift

Rest in Peace & creativity dear teacher. Thank you for the oasis of safety, exploration and imagination you created! It was a life raft for me in 1970´s middle school through my parents divorce & a lot of chaos! I will never forget and the pursuit of creativity & color exploration has been the scaffolding for my life!

I am so deeply saddened to hear this news and I´m sending love and strength to Linda and Jan´s family and friends. Jan was literally a ray of sunshine in my life for years. Looking out for me and taking me under her wing. She taught me so much about living life and the bigger picture. From how to tie die to how to listen and appreciate the TomTom Club (whom I still love listening to and thank her for sharing her coolness with me back then!!) Jan was a beautiful person and beautiful force in...

I could always count on fun when around Janet.

Rest peacefully Jan. Thank you for teaching me, your love of art and your art room were always a bright spot for me.

My heart goes out Jan's friends and family. She was a wonderful person and a terrific art teacher. I still have some of my works from that period of time and I always think of her when I look at them. Rest easy Jan.

I´ll remember you watching me draw or color when I was little, always teaching me about technique. Thanks to you I learned early on which colors to mix to get green, purple, orange, and so on. Hope you are going on a great hike, every day. You will be missed, aunt Jan
