The Helm Graduation Class of 2001
Our Recollections of Helm Elementary
Paty Ortiz
Valedictorian
I came to Helm School in 3rd grade. My first teacher was Mrs. Atwal. She was nice. Then I had Mrs. Kalashian, Mr. Fiese, Mrs. VR, and finally Mr. Barber for 7th and 8th grades. I was really happy I was going into his class because my sister, Maggie, said he was really nice. And he is. Helm School is great. Almost everyone gets along. The other teachers are really nice too. What is also good about this school is that are just a few students here, and the teachers get more time to spend with the children on their regular work. It is also safe here. I wish for all my classmates to be successful in life.

I've been at this school for 2 years. It has been fun almost every step of the way. My favorite teacher , of course, is Mr. Barber, because he is the only one I have had. He hounded me to get to work and I'm glad he did. I also like this school a lot because it isn't crowded. Anyway, I'd like to thank the following people for a good year: Paty, Sylvia, Lupe, Maria U., Edith, Joanna, Tony, Tim, and others. Thanks guys. Thanks a lot for everything. And you too, Mr. Barber.

I came to Helm School in the 7th grade. I have only had one teacher and that is Mr. Barber. One thing I like about this school is that every classroom has computers. I am going to miss this school.

I came to Helm when I was in the 7th grade. I like this school because there are only a few kids here. Also because there are no people who do drugs. I have a lot of good friends here. I also like it because my nephew, Juan, and my niece, Lupe come to this school. I have a very nice teacher, Mr. Barber. I am very glad that I come to this school.
My wishes for the class of 2001 is for them not to do drugs, and for them to be careful how they lead their lives. I wish for them to have a great future and career.

I came to Helm in the 5th grade. My first teacher was Mr. Fiese. He was really nice. Then I had Mrs. VR for the 6th grade. In the 7th and 8th grade, I had Mr. Barber. He is the best teacher I have had.
