Power, Grace, & Wisdom: Wonder-Teacher Saves The Day

A recipe is the key to many successful meals and creations. Ingredients can even come together to form an iconic crime-fighting trio like the Powerpuff Girls. The Talon took a similar approach by taking the greatest qualities of female Christian Brothers educators and making one perfect and irreplaceable super-teacher. This concoction, however, goes far beyond sugar, spice, and everything nice.

Here is an overly complex guide to incorporating intricate elements of CB administrators in order to generate an impeccable, well-rounded representative of our academic community.

Start with a heaping serving of Mrs. Maureen Wanket’s creativity. Her famous rhymes and whimsical relationship with faeries add loads of motivation to her students.

The queen of story-telling, Ms Mary Bowers, will contribute her thrilling tales and her ability to captivate a wide range of audiences. No one can top her shocking experiences that can only be retold by the one and only Shakespearean lover to get the same full effect.

Grab yourself a bundle of enthusiasm from Room 706 where Mrs. Adriana Mundo resides. The best educator needs some pep in her step, as shown by this well-loved Spanish maestra.

A tablespoon of Mrs. Nicole Brousseau’s loudness will do just the trick in making school a little more interesting.

Our flawless teacher indubitably needs a strong love for our planet, just like Mrs. Kelly Safford. With the Lorax by her side, this instructor needs as much love for the trees as for her students.

By adding a few cups of Mrs. Mary Alice Spinelli’s ’99 listening and mentorship skills, such professor will be a counselor beyond comparison.

Without a doubt, the perfect mentor would be a stellar fashionista with the same excellent taste as Ms. Chrys Cassetta. The 300s hallway is her catwalk as she struts her show-stopping pants.

Some witty sarcasm from Mrs. Annie Vanenburg is an absolute must. The best mentor will keep her students on their toes throughout the entire year. Add a dash of Mrs. Rose Anne Holmes’ sweetness and warm smile.

Mix in generous amounts of Ms. Anna Fernandez’s compassion. With this Spanish teacher’s approachable and relatable attitude, there is no man (or woman) left behind.

Include a splash of Ms. Loretta Kenney’s sophistication complemented by her calm and collected attitude toward life.

Finally, a perfect professor needs a spoonful of Mrs. Tracy Chadbourne’s humor and curly red hair. It is imperative that her ability to entertain is as fiery as the locks upon her head.

A good teacher with likable qualities — we’ve seen plenty of them. But the rare and amazing ingredients provided right here by CB to create the ultimate super-teacher could take on Rachael Ray’s carbonara any day.
