I have spent my afternoons lately talking with students who credit Ms. Kinnecom for helping them believe in their own futures. Knowing how much she has fundamentally changed the culture at this school keeps me focused on the work ahead. I am reaching out to the district office now to ensure they see exactly how many of us rely on her presence here.

Seeing this kind of energy for Ms. Kinnecom proves just how much she has changed our lives at BHS. I am overwhelmed knowing so many of you value her presence in our classrooms as much as I do.

Ms. Kinnecom is honestly one of the best teachers I have ever had. Every day I looked forward to her class and our spanish club meetings. She is a teacher who takes great care teaching material. She is always available and extremely helpful with understanding material and even taking the time to help me personally through stressful times with school work. I also loved her passion for her work and the spanish culture. I am truly sad she will not be coming back and I hope that bedford has another opportunity to offer her. Our school is losing a very valuable teacher.

Ms kinnecom isn't just a teacher with her students, she is a friend to them. She loves being social with her classe and tries to connect with them as much as possible which I admire because most teachers don't treat their job as delicately as ms kinnecom! She is my favorite teacher and it would be sad to see her leave

Ms. Kinnecom is probably the best teacher I have ever had. She has taught me so much and I can't thank her enough for that. Before this year Spanish for me was just a class. After having Ms. Kinnecom I look forward to going to Spanish and learning the language and about Spanish culture. Ms. Kinnecom's enthusiasm about Spanish culture has definitely spread to me and all of her students. Thanks to this wonderful teacher and all her encouragement, next year I will be an officer of the Spanish club. She has affected me in more than just a school environment but I think of her as a role model. Keeping her in our school system would definitely be a wise choice. #gobedfordbus

She has a real passion for Spanish language and culture, an affinity for teenagers and infectious energy. I think she is a great asset for Bedfotd High School; please hold on to her!

I first met Ms. Kinnecom at a parent-teacher night and was immediately impressed with her passion for the Spanish language and a deep love and understanding of Latin American culture. Having lived overseas during most of my childhood, I share her love of linguistic and cultural discovery, and can think of no more inspiring spirit a teacher can embody. She is a global thinker and fluent communicator who clearly loves the kids she teaches. After that evening, I heard my own impressions repeatedly echoed by my daughter as she benefitted from Ms. Kinnecom's teaching throughout the school year. In this age where such exemplary educators are so undervalued and hard to find, it would be a true shame to lose Ms. Kinnecom from Bedford High School. I do hope that any potential path for her returning to BHS will be offered to her, so that she can continue sharing her gifts and passion with our children.
