VA Students: "We Love AP"
Posted by Gregg Fleisher
NMSI National Program Director, AP Training and Incentive Program

Here's a great example of the terrific rapport that the AP teachers in programs supported by NMSI grants have with their students:

School had only been out two days in Franklin County High School in Virginia when Ellen McCullen, an AP English teacher, got an appreciative email from two of the students in her AP English class this year, with a photo attached.
The class members already had given her several nice mementos as a big "Thank you" for helping them succeed in the rigorous coursework, including a set of wooden letters that spelled out "We Love AP."
Two of the students took that a thoughtful step further by emailing their teacher this photo with a little note saying how much they missed the class already.
The photo speaks volumes about how AP can change the culture of a school and make taking college-level classes a positive, rewarding experience.
