Margaret Pitts

I too am from the Miss Gray generation of Salem High School class of 1997 who were privileged to have her teach us in three grades-8th, 9th and 11th. we were her first students- she must have been only 24 years old. she left us after junior year to go to alaska. she was the most important/influential teacher i ever had and i think many of my classmates would say the same thing. we are grieving in georgia and would love to know if there will be any sort of memorial service here so we can pay our respects. 

there are too many memories to recall but one in particular was when we went to washington dc for a 9th grade school trip and she let me play my mixed tape over the bus stereo system. when violent femmes' "blister in the sun" came on she ran over and said "do you know what this song is about??" i said "no" and she let it keep playing. RIP Miss Gray.
