Mrs. Blumberg's passion for literature and for teaching was infectious; books that I never would have otherwise be interested in came to life in her classroom. Even if you weren't that excited about being at school on any given day, you could never show up to her class feeling apathetic; she was fully invested and we need not disappoint her. The learning speaks for itself. There are literary references that I use today that came from a discussion during 12^th-grade English class. My husband will sometimes ask, "How do you know that?" My response, "12^th-grade English! Too bad that you didn't get to experience ‘Betty Lou's’ in action!" We love you back Mrs. Blumberg and this honor is a tribute to your passion, dedication, and love for teaching. Best wishes and congratulations!!
