Recommendations and Kind Words

A former student asked me to help them with an assignment: “Take a portrait of a teacher who made a powerful impact on your life”

I didn’t expect this student to think of me— I had only chatted with them during my study hall. I was— and am— so honored by this student’s actions.

“Ms. Zell consistently reached outside of her comfort zone, exploring new materials and ways of working.  She enjoyed sharing knowledge and giving feedback to classmates. Her patient, thoughtful, sensitive and kind attitude enriched our class discussions and empowered classmate’s creative thinking..”

Patricia Ryan, Woodworking/Boatbuilding Teacher MHS

“Ms. Zell is extremely gifted in building relationships with students and between students.  She is able to meet each student where they are and encourage them to grow: as artists, as students, as citizens of the world.”
