"Miss Driftmeyer"was one of my third grade teachers at Hayes School in Lakewood, OH. I remember her as being such a kind and inspiring teacher..I had her for math and she would have us play fun games to practice our multiplication facts. She also helped with one of our music performances and taught us to sing "Here Comes the Sun" and "Suzy Snowflake". Whenever I hear these songs, my thoughts go back to learning them in third grade. My condolences to her family.
