It was a true privilege to have Samantha in my classroom, even if only for a short time. She had a quiet, gentle spirit that brought a sense of calm and kindness to our class. Her work was thoughtful and her presence, though soft-spoken, made a meaningful impact.
Samantha was the kind of student who reminded me why teaching is such a gift — not because of grades or assignments, but because of the people we are lucky enough to meet.
There are no words that can truly capture the sorrow of this loss. Please know that Samantha left a lasting impression, and she will be deeply missed.
My heart goes out to her family during this unimaginable time.
Sincerely,
Mr. Spruill
