I received this card from the book during Teacher Induction/Orientation at the school I work at. I am giving it to Mr. Ray. He is an inspiration, not only to the students at the school we teach at, but to other teachers as well. He has been a mentor to me, maybe without knowing it. He is able to connect with students and teachers on another level, and he brings people together. He can make anyone laugh and loosen up, and he is the kind of teacher that would give the shirt off of his back to anyone.

Thank you, Mr. Ray!,

Joni
