"My energy for teaching comes straight from the middle schoolers I teach. Out of each day comes new knowledge. It's not always about books - it's also about life and self. Listening and talking to middle school students is time well spent." "Mrs. Prendergast relates well to the students. She makes the information interesting and holds the attention of the class. I've experienced with my older child the readiness for high school English."

She truly believes anyone can be successful in math. I wish I had had such a teacher when I was in middle school."
