Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

Not only are they a great teacher in the classroom but go above and beyond to run the science club for school. The science club would run trips every month to various locations and give students the opportunity to visit, see, and travel to places that they otherwise wouldn’t with their families. Mrs. White created and provided these opportunities for these students.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

I want people to know how much time and energy Pat White has spent organizing science club trips for the students of Manchester Township high school. She would always make it a point to make sure every kid who wanted to go on the trip could. She would get other teachers to sponsor and pay for students if they could not afford it. She enriched so many students' lives by providing these trips for these kids. It was wonderful to watch the students experience things that they never would’ve had the opportunity to if it were not for Pat White. She truly is a selfless person when it comes to providing learning opportunities for her students.
