Hi there! It’s the staff of The Bingham Prospector here. As this school year comes to a close, we would like to come together to thank our fearless leader – Ms. Quist. We truly would be nowhere without her wise, patient, and kind teaching. Ms. Quist has been the newspaper advisor for three years, but next year she will be moving on for more bookish adventures as Bingham’s Head Librarian. She has helped many students find their voice in journalism and life. Without any further ado, let’s hear from some of Ms. Quist’s thankful students!

“Taking Newspaper with Ms. Quist has been such a good experience for me. She’s taught me so much, and I always love coming to her class. She has such a warm and kind energy, and I hope to be more like her.”

“Quist is the best teacher! She always listens to all my dumb stories, and she’s just amazing. I don’t think I would like writing as much as I do if it wasn’t for her.” 

-Sarah Storm

“Ms. Quist is the most supportive teacher anyone could ask for. She is hilarious and always there when you need life advice. I’m so grateful I took this class because of her. She has saved me from getting put in a box and shipped off. Newspaper will not be the same without her, and I’m going to miss her next year!”

“Ms. Quist is the best! I’ve loved getting to be on Newspaper this year, and Quist has made it such a welcoming and constructive environment.

I’m really grateful I got to learn from her.”
