I went to Millmont School and Mrs. Ulrich was my third grade teacher. She was a wonderful woman! After Millmont closed in 1976, she and I continued to keep in touch. We'd write letters, send holiday cards to each other... Rest in peace, Mrs. Ulrich! I'm sure you are in a good place, my friend!

Family of Shirley,
I went to the Millmont Elementary school. Mrs. Ulrich was my sixth grade teacher. She was my favorite elementary teacher. She was very soft spoken and kind.
