Mr. K is the kindest teacher we know! He takes the time each student needs, and goes the extra mile to learn new ways for students to learn!

Mr. Knebel is a great coworker to work with, and above all is an amazing teacher. He knows what to do in all situations, guiding students and helping them grow. Teaching me how to work with and care for students has helped myslef grow as a person. I'm sure that we are all grateful for Mr. Knebel and the joy, love and leadership he brings to our school, I know that I am.
