A pair of Trinity Lutheran teachers have received national attention among Lutheran schools.
Concordia Publishing House - the official publishing provider of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. - held a contest during National Lutheran Schools week, asking students and their parents to nominate their most beloved teachers.
Mrs. Berry was selected the overall winner of the contest, while Mr. Holste was one of five teachers who received second-place honors.
Some of the responses submitted – about Mrs. Berry - for the contest included:
“She is the teacher I want to be like. Everyone knows and loves Mrs. Berry. She is a staple and students are blessed to get to have her.”
“She cares about the lives of her students even when they aren't in school. She visits them and prays for them and shows up for their extra curricular activities. She has led many children to be baptized by advocating to their parents it's importance.”
A responses submitted – about Mr. Holste – for the contest included:
“Mr. Holste gives his students constant reminders that they are loved by God. He had a student who really wanted to attend church, and so did his brother. Mr. Holste made sure arrangements were made for the boys to get to church. He was there to sit with them, and I’m sure he was teaching them about the service, too! These boys were tough kids and school did not come easy. Mr. Holste makes sure his classes see the value in every human being.”
Trinity is so blessed to have both Mrs. Berry and Mr. Holste as well as our entire faculty and staff.
