Mrs. Parsons was my Art Teacher at Downingtown Jr. H.S. I was a new student in the district and enjoyed her class so much. She was incredibly kind to me. She was the person who inspired me to become an art teacher and I have now been teaching art for 23 years. This year I was awarded the National Art Education Association Special Needs Art Teacher of the Year and wanted to honor Mrs. Parsons in my acceptance speech next month. Whenever my students ask me "Why did you become an art teacher?", she will always be my answer. My condolences to her family.
