A teacher for some 33 years, I am a long-time lover of books and a life-long learner. My passions include the aforementioned reading, teaching, and learning, as well as music, art, theater (especially musical theater), words, clouds and other wonders of nature.

Oh my gosh Mrs. Burris you could write a novel. You are such an amazing writer! You could also write a book as good as Bud, Not Buddy. I can’t wait for our next class novel. You have a very interesting taste in books. Like I never would have chosen Bud, Not Buddy as a class novel, but I enjoyed every second of it! Thanks for being a great teacher.

Mrs. Burris, I to think that you, just like your father, have a great speaking voice. And most teachers voices will either put you to sleep or scare the heck out of you because they are yelling, but you have a great voice that makes me want to listen to you all day. Especially when you read Bud, Not Buddy to us, man I love your voice! Not to sound creepy or anything.
