KATHLEEN & TIM HARNEY MIDDLE SCHOOL
STUDENT RECOGNITION STORY
Ms. Vargas is a amazing teacher. Before joining mariachi, I was unsure about taking her class. Every other time I have tried to learn a instrument, I never truly enjoy it. But I went anyway, and when I did, I loved it! Ms. Vargas is kind and respectful to all her students and she creates true friendships with them. Ms. Vargas not only is kind, but also helpful! During my first couple months of school, I was having a big problem with learning guitar so I asked her to watch me play and asked if she could tell me what I was doing wrong and she actually helped me. Ms. Vargas gave me tips and examples on how to work the guitar. Overall, Ms. Vargas is a great teacher and every time I've needed help she has been there for me.
