Students in Ms. Kalantgis’ Kindergarten class at EME were a part of a very special full-circle moment! Ms. Kalantgis, PJHS class of 2015, invited her 2nd-grade teacher, Mrs. Brigitte Hessberger, to come read to her class! Students were captivated while Mrs. Hessberger read a story about Mrs. Piggle Wiggle. Afterward, they colored a coloring book made by Mrs. Hessberger! Mrs. Hessberger taught in Port Jervis for 36 wonderful years before retiring in 2008. As a teacher, Mrs. Hessberger was known for making every student feel loved and always reading Junie B. Jones books! One of the many things that makes Port Jervis so special is the truly amazing teachers and staff members who love and inspire students within their classrooms and beyond. For Ms. Kalantgis, Mrs. Hessberger’s positive impact continues over 20 years later!
