      Miss Kress was my favorite teacher. She taught English for years. I had her in 8th grade, My children had Miss Kress as thier English teacher as well. She was strict, organized, cutting edge, and her no-nosense teaching style made a difference in my writing abilities. I've respected her for many years. Miss Kress retired in 2010. I wish her all the best!
