Who was your favorite teacher (K-12 including Buckeye) and why?

Tytler all the way. He was hilarious. We would always play harmless pranks on him, and he'd freak out.

What is your favorite memory of your time at Tusky Valley (K-12)?

It was in 5th grade band. We were practicing 'Up on a Haunted Housetop' and the rubber tips of Tyler Boyd's mallets fell off. While we were playing, Clint Spillman yelled, "EVERYBODY STOP!" and then said a phrase that sounded bad even though he didn't intend it to be. Everyone who was there will know what I am talking about. I think that was my favorite.

What was your favorite K-12 class or grade level and why?

This year because I have 4 study halls at the end of the day. I can actually sleep and not go home with homework.

What was your most embarrassing moment during your time at Tusky Valley?

It was a week before AIR testing (I have tried to repress the memory.) and was right outside the Spanish room, I tripped with a chromebook.(I would like to say I did a random gravity check but...) Everyone in that area stopped and there was a loud, dramatic gasp from EVERYONE. I went to Mr. Peterson's class. That's when I opened it to learn the screen in the bottom corner was shattered.

Which project, paper, assignment, etc. that you completed during your time at TV (K-12) were you most proud of and which teacher was it completed for?

My Government project for Tytler. It was over the quality of school lunches.
