It is with great sadness that I learn of Mrs. Johnson's passing. As a student (4th grade SMS) I will always remember her kindness and her great love of teaching. She always took her time to help or encourage you and I am grateful to her for all of the guidance she gave to so many young people. She leaves a truly wonderful legacy behind in all of those students she taught along the way and of course her loving
