Favorite Teacher

My niece, Liz Masterson is a Journalism and English teacher at Kelly Walsh High School, where she also attended high school. I think it’s very cool that she is teaching at her Alma Mater. I know she likes it too. Liz also takes most of the photographs of events for the annual, as well as producing it with her students. Her work makes the annual an outstanding book that is cherished by all who purchase it. She has also taken a lot of the senior pictures for various students. Her creativity makes each set of photographs amazing memories for the students. Being a teacher keeps Liz very busy, and there are several times during the year that we almost don’t see her, because she runs from this event to that event and back to school, and of course home to grade papers and choose pictures for her work on the annual.

Her busy schedule makes any school vacation time precious to Liz. She loves to travel and often hooks up with friends for trips that make her time off very special. This past week was Spring Break, so Liz and a friend headed down to Las Vegas to have a little fun and sun, as well as to attend a concert of Liz’s favorite artist, Carrie Underwood. Liz has loved Carrie Underwood’s music she he first came on the scene, and she is always invited to the fan appreciation events, which she tries to get to as often as she can. Having the concert be in Vegas was just icing on the cake for Liz. She and her friend also hooked up with a former student who had just finished grad school. It was a fun time for all three of the girls.

Liz has always stayed in touch with many of her former students. She is a favorite of many of her current and former students. She has taken their school event pictures, senior pictures, and gone on to take their wedding pictures. It’s not every teacher that you want to remember for years after school ends, much less to stay in touch with, but Liz is that rare teacher who has managed to be a great influence on her students, and they want to remember her always. She helped to prepare them for their college studies and given them a work ethic that has made them great members of society, so it makes perfect sense that they would want her to share in their wedding joy. A teacher like Liz is a rare find, and anyone who had her for a teacher is truly blessed. We all consider ourselves blessed to know Liz. Today is Liz’s birthday. Happy birthday Liz!! Have a great day!! We love you!!
