Joyce Roy Casada

I was saddened to hear of her passing. She was one of my most impactful teachers at the Memphis Hebrew Academy. I had her for math in 7th Grade in the late 1970's. She saw something special in me and had me work on SRA learning materials in the back of the classroom instead of following along with her lessons. It may have been because I'd disturb the class otherwise - who knows? She used to point her fingers like a gun and say, "Don't let grass grow under your feet!" She was always patient...

Mrs. Casada was my math teacher at Memphis (Margolin) Hebrew Academy. I remain thankful to Mrs. Casada for her expectations of careful and thorough work! She was a tough AND encouraging teacher. My appreciation and condolences.

Mrs. Casada (rhymes with Canada) was my 6th grade teacher (1971) at the Memphis Hebrew Academy. What a wonderful teacher. Besides the reading, writing and rethmetic she expertly taught we also learned our world capitals. Rest in peace

Ms. Casada was my 6th grade teacher at the Margolin Hebrew Academy some 57 years ago. Throughout my life, I have commented to many that Ms. Casada was an excellent teacher and taught the three Rs better than anyone before or after. I still remember her quotes: "good better best never let it rest till the good´s better and the better´s best", "I´m from Missouri, you have to show me", and of course, "haste makes waste". Rest in peace, Ms. Casada.
