When we learned that Mr. Best was leaving school 28 there was a feeling of loss and disappointment. He is one of the most caring teachers ever and it is important to us that we have him here. Mr. Best brings good vibes wherever he goes. We have felt the love from Mr. Best not only when we were students at School 28 but also after we were sent to Dr. Frank Napier Academy. His presence supersedes the walls of School 28. We don’t understand why anyone would take that away from us.

When it is hard to find an adult that understands (and that happens often) we can always depend on Mr. Best for understanding and guidance. It means a lot to see him in our community and schools. Our time with him is not only filled with fun but life lessons that taught us the seriousness of staying focused and setting goals. Mr. Best showed us how to value each other and the people in our community so that we can help each other. In us Mr. Best planted a seed that helped us see the potential of where we live.

Even though Mr. Best is not a teacher at our school he shows support for our school by attending and participating in different school events. He captures moments at our basketball games on film so that we have memories. He played with us during our field day not because he had to but because he wanted to. You see we are important to him too and lucky for us that we are because Mr. Best makes everything lit. Mr. Best is our friend, gym teacher, helping hand and community participant, may he please stay.
