Mrs. Wright

Mrs. Wright, my Middle School Drama teacher, courageously took groups of us from the Bay Area to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival for a week of theatre, discovery, and belonging. Looking back now, I realize how extraordinary that was. It takes enormous dedication to create opportunities like that for young people. She gave her students more than education — she gave us access to wonder. I’ll always be grateful for those unforgettable trips and for her belief in the power of the Arts and in us.
