    When I walked into my first day of 3rd grade at Wampatuck Elementary School I saw one of the teachers and thought, I hope she is my teacher this year because she smiled and seemed so nice. I was a lucky kid that year as Miss Simon was indeed my teacher. She was my favorite teacher and I will always remember her. My sincerest condolences.
