#𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐀𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 | 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 Danielle Hicks, Caldwell Junior High "Mrs. Hicks is one of a kind. My child decided to take Principles of Ag on a whim, and I am so thankful she did. Not only has Mrs. Hicks given her students in this class opportunities to explore agriculture from the academic lens, she has provided authentic experiences to connect ag to real life. She has encouraged my child to explore FFA and build her confidence. Thank you, Mrs. Hicks, for your wit, encouragement and sharing your passion for learning." --Parent
