Hawk Nation
Teacher of the Month
"I am nominating him for these following reasons, because when we don't understand something he will tell us something that is relatable to it and will give a great description, plus we would work in group activities which will give us a great opportunity to collaboration. He tries to let us experience things(example) when we were learning about spices he let us smell some quirky but yet interesting spices. This is why Mr. Goodridge should be nominated as Teacher of the Month plus he taught us how to restate our question properly." ~Student Jimenez
"He keeps students engaged and his students love learning about History. He is passionate about his students and the subject area he teaches."~Ms. Lestrange, Parent
