Current 18 June 5, 2008 the end of an era by Kara Heiser Editor As the most recent addition to the class of 2008, Mrs. Hernandez will be the 52nd senior to say goodbye after many years here at The Bear Creek School. This bittersweet occasion is cause for sadness to all at the school who know and love Mrs. Hernandez, but it allows her to spend some much deserved time with her family. Mrs. Hernandez has tackled many jobs and held many titles, including study skills teacher, mom, volunteer, English teacher and Upper School Head. She first became involved with the school after it was recommended by a good friend who was looking for a private school for her own daughters. At that time, Bear Creek was even smaller and holding classes at Grace Church. Utilizing her training in study skills and English, Mrs. Hernandez assisted Mrs. Kaplowitz with classroom work, grading, and other miscellaneous tasks to fulfill her community service hours. When Mrs. Price heard what was happening, she decided to hire Mrs. Hernandez to teach a study skills elective. Thus began Mrs. Hernandez’s TBCS career. Since then, Mrs. Hernandez has become an integral part of the school. At times it seems like there are clones of her roaming around, for she is ever present at sporting events, drama performances, concerts, school dances, and during the school day. She never tires of meeting kids in the hallway and treats each Bear Creeker as if they were one of her own children. “I love every class, and every year when the seniors graduate, I think it’s never going to be the same,” said Mrs. Hernandez. After her lengthy career ends this year, Mrs. Hernandez plans to relax and travel a bit with her husband this summer. Though retirement is the technical term, she won’t stop working completely because she says, “I love kids too much.” ArOund SchOOl leaving her boxing gloves behind our hero For Superhero Day during Homecoming Week, faculty and staff dressed up as Mrs. Hernandez in suits and complete with superhero name badges, starbucks cups and boxing gloves.
