"I was surprised because I never had a teacher in the past that cared so much about their students. I was also really happy because this made me feel like Mr. Plewa really cares about his new students and actually wants us to learn, succeed and be smarter in the end. This created a sense of relaxation for me because this postcard and the positive things Mr. Plewa wrote caused me to think that this class will be easy and that he is a good teacher so I didn't worry as much as I did before since it was an AP class." anonymous 2017
"Appreciate Mr. Plewa caring for me as a student and an individual." anonymous 2019

Creates excitement
"When I received the postcard, I was very excited to start the school year and take my first AP course. I felt ready to take on the challenges of the class. I also felt that Mr. Plewa was a great teacher, considering the fact that he took the time to send a postcard to each individual." anonymous 2017
