Mr. Nefos

 By: Julianna Heintz (Grade 6)

If you are a 6th grader or really any kid who has had lunch in Mr. Nefos' you know what an amazing experience it is. It's so much fun to joke around with friends in a less formal environment. A lot of kids don't realize what a sacrifice this is for Mr. Nefos.

For starters, Mr. Nefos is arguably one of the most loved, well known, and most enthusiastic teachers at Fugett. It goes without saying Mr. Nefos is dedicated to his students and Fugett. He devotes so much of his time on doing things like the ski club that will make lasting memories for students.

Also, one of the basic rights for each teacher is at least one period they are not teaching for lunch and lesson planning and most teachers usually also have a period where their grade is at lunch. Mr. Nefos has this lunch opportunity but instead he opens up his classroom to the 6th grade. `

Lastly, all teachers have the option to lead clubs and many do. Mr. Nefos, being himself, leads not one, not two, not three, but FIVE clubs!! Being a teacher, lesson planning and grading takes up so much free time and yet he still has time to coordinate all of these clubs.

Overall, many kids don't appreciate the unique things Mr. Nefos does for us at this school. Being a favorite teacher he is loved by many but to a fair amount of people he is underappreciated. If we could nominate some of the most dedicated teachers to this school he would have my vote in a heartbeat. And just to put a few things in perspective, I as, a writer, am not in any of his classes and yet I love him the same as his actual students.
