Steph was truly a wonderful human being, I was the paraeducator in her room her first year teaching at MCHS. I was never good at math, so being put into assist the subject was scary, she made me feel so comfortable all the time, and showed me little tricks to help me remember things. The kids loved her. She was one of the most thoughtful people I've worked with. I will miss her smile and her positive energy. It was truly a pleasure to have met her. Rest easy Steph.

Steph always greeted people with a smile and a good-natured quip. Any conversation with her ended with a chuckle, which spoke to her desire to leave people better off than she found them. She came across me right when I heard about my grandma's death, and her kindness as she comforted me and checked in on me a few days later made a lasting impact. Steph will always have my love and respect.

Mrs Smith, coach Smith, was both a wonderful teacher and coach. She looked out for every student in her class and on her team. She helped push me into becoming a better leader and never failed to make a dark situation a little brighter. I will never forget her kind words during all the times I felt down. She cared so deeply about the people around her and was so devoted to making math class more fun. I´m so grateful to have had the pleasure of meeting her and having her as both a teacher and a coach.

Mrs smith was definitely one of my favorite teachers. I had her for algebra 1 my freshman year and it was amazing. She was always there to help and was very understanding when you couldn´t understand something. Mrs smith also just seemed like a lovely human in general and I will miss her a lot.

Mrs. Smith was a wonderful person to have around. Always willing to help and care for her students no matter the circumstances. Her hard work and dedication will always be remembered in my heart, and in the hearts of others. All of my prayers and condolences go out to the smith family and those who have been affected by this unfortunate death. I hope God takes care of you all.

Mrs. Smith shared the love and passion for sharks just as much as I did. I remember I drew her a picture of two hammerhead sharks, she loved it. I wish that I was able to say goodbye to her before I left manheim central school district. She was such a sweet and caring individual. She always knew how to lighten up a mood/setting. Even if she would get serious at times, she always knew how to joke around with the class. I´ve always disliked math, but she made it easier and made me dislike it a bit less. She was also a very supportive person. Not just to people, but to opinions and actions. She understood how people felt, maybe not all the time, but most of the time. Thank you Mrs. Smith for being one of the only teachers that will forever live in my heart. May you live on.

Mrs.Smith was my 9th grade math teacher. She was really amazing, I don´t even like math but I was always excited when 3rd block came around. Her energy was always there and her class just felt like a comfortable space to be in. She would always be there to help me if I needed, whether it was just math or even personal things. I despised school, but while in her class with her teaching it didn´t feel like school at all. Mrs.smith, I´m sorry I didn´t get to thank you sooner. You really helped me mentally and educationally wise, may God be with you and your family. rest in peace Mrs.smith.
