Mr. Jamie Rickard is and amazing teacher who values student morals, and hard work. He always helps students, and gives them a blank slate every day. He always shows compassion, kindness, and teaches with genuine care. He is a role model for me, and many other students. He makes me feel like I matter, that I am smart, and can do anything I set my mind to. He has supported me in the classroom by helping me one on one, and staying after class to explain topics that I didn't quite grasp. He has helped me outside the classroom as a coach, spending extra focus to teach moves.
