- I attended Ramona Elementary in Bellflower for second, third, and possibly some of the fourth grade. It was one of the best schools that I remember attending (out of a lot, trust me!). I never realized how much of an impact the teachers, staff, and my old friends had. We were in Ms. Starr's class together. She had the most funniest curriculum activities that I have yet to see any other teacher come close to rivaling. I wish that I could tell her just how much she has changed how I view the world. Ever since third grade, I have recycled, Ms. Starr! I just thought you might like to hear that. I am 25 now. I raised over $25,000 for Greenpeace and I could not even tell you how many signatures I have collected (off the clock). The state of our world today is frightening and depressing. I worry for the generations of kids that will inherit what may be left of the Earth at that point. That is why teachers like Ms. Starr are so vital in keeping faith that there will be hope for future generations to come.
Thanks, Ms. Starr. You are the best!
