Dwight Teachers

There were some very wonderful teachers at Dwight School. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any of them! lol Mrs. Weeks taught 3rd grade, and I was terrified of her. Mrs. Splitozer taught 2nd grade and she scared me a little too. She swatted my BFF Carla on the rear end one day when we started back upstairs after lunch. There was Ms. Lois Usry and Mrs. Baker who were good teachers (and Mrs. Baker did teach me Social Studies in the 5th grade!). Mrs. Cunningham taught the “special readng” kids, whatever that meant. And of course, the award winning Mrs. Pearl Gilbert taught 1st grade. She was the mother-in-law of one the best teachers I had in junior high, Lucy Gilbert, and the grandmother of the love of my life, "Kimbo"(more on him later). Our principal was Mrs. Webb. She scared me, but she liked me.
