To begin Mrs. Meerdink has always made music class a really fun class. She makes us excited to go to class by always having something to look forward. Whether we are looking to see what mischief the leprechaun has gotten himself into or doing blookets she is constantly finding ways to have fun. She lets me and other students know she cares about us by continuously hearing us and letting us each be unique in our own ways (an example is when students ask to come up with solos for a small concert, she is so willing to let them do so and is so encouraging about it). Mrs. Meerdink has supported me inside and outside the classroom by comforting me and being there for me school and musicals.
