Mrs. Haskins was a excellent teacher and I have many fond memories of her teaching , she gave up her lunch time to eat with students, and when I had my nose in a book reading about everything from science to history she never once scolded me. Mrs. Haskins inspired me to become a teacher and I still apply many of her techniques. I´m sorry to hear of her passing for I do think of her often. An exceptional teacher , thank you for your service Mrs. Haskins , your students still carry on your good works. Thank you for not ever scolding me for reading , I´m still reading today

Mary Glenn was a wonderful caring teacher and friend to students and staff at Frank Toth Elementary School. I was honored to be included to join Mary Glenn and others for lunch through the years to catch up. I always think of her as we pass her home. And to her family, she loved you so much. She and Bill are together again!
