Thanks For Teaching Me How to Use 'Whom,' Miss Kolanoski!

Novato residents recall their most memorable teachers for National Teacher Appreciation Day.

Everyone has a teacher has touched their life in a memorable way. If you're lucky, you had more than one.

Today is National Appreciation Day, and we asked readers on Facebook who their most memorable teachers were. 

"I've had many," said Toni Frederickson Shroyer. "One was Miss Kolanoski who was my 8th grade teacher. She loved her students and taught us how to use the word 'whom.' I still call her and tell her how much I appreciated her teaching generations of 'Valley Kids'."
