I want to send my condolences to Mr. Woods daughters as well as his family members . Mr . Wood will be truly missed , he was my daughters third grade teacher this year. She will remember him for not only his teaching , but his sense of humor and his Tik Tok dance moves, or as my daughter would say , his “griddy” . He was one of a kind. A teacher who brought joy and laughter to all his students!
