Mrs. Ohlrich was a great teacher. She pushed me not to settle for complacency right at the time I needed it, tirelessly working to ensure her students received a diverse education. I remember studying Japanese culture in her class, learning bits of the language, and the classic comfy circle reading aloud books. Mrs. Ohlrich was one of those teachers who inspires you to become more, to be curious about the world around you, and I will be eternally grateful for her. My condolences to the family; I will be praying for you.
