JL EVERHART LAMPLIGHTER Mr. Warren has many qualities that are important

By Olivia Rae

Fifth Grade, JL Everhart

My name is Olivia, and I am a fifth-grade student at J. L. Everhart Elementary School. My homeroom teacher is Mr. Warren. Mr. Warren is my science teacher, and he is an amazing teacher. Since the beginning of the year, I have noticed how wonderful he is. He plays the roles of teacher, mentor, big brother, father, and the crazy friend. Many qualities about Mr. Warren make him unique and more than deserving to be my lamplighter.

When school first began, I missed the night that we met the teachers, so on the first day, I was a little nervous. He was so welcoming and friendly that I did not feel any discomfort at all. As the year has progressed, Mr. Warren has taught me how to resolve my issues with other students. He has taught me to report bullying or anything that may harm someone. He has also taught me to be the bigger person during conflict. For example, my friends and I had an argument, and Mr. Warren made us apologize to each other. I may not have wanted to apologize, but doing so made me feel better afterward. Not only is he a great teacher, but he also motivates us to be better students.

Mr. Warren is not only smart, but he is also funny. He makes learning fun and exciting. When teaching us new information, he makes a song out of it. Sometimes he will do a dance as well. There is never a dull moment with Mr. Warren.

Mr. Warren is the best. I can always count on him. Whenever I get in trouble, he has my back. He is so understanding that I can talk to him, and I do not have to lie to him. He forgives me when I am wrong and praises me when I am right. Mr. Warren cares. If he tells me that ev- erything is going to be okay, he will make it okay. He is also very fair. He never picks favorites and always tells the truth. I believe Mr. Warren is the best teacher in the school.

Even if the Longview ISD Foundation does not select Mr. Warren for the Lamplighter Award, he will always be one and more to me.
