Mrs. Cassis was a special teacher and person. Very thankful to have her as our 5th grade elementary teacher at Edison in 1983-84.. Her way of teaching was fun and enjoyable.. allowing us to read aloud, competing in spelling and math.. but the best.. we started out sitting alphabetically in order but by the end of year we were able to sit wherever as long as we behaved.. so nice…also,, friday free- time and show & tell.. Mrs. Cassis is loved and appreciated. Thank you
Very sad to see the obituary- always remember our road trips and all the good times we had – rest in peace dear friend-
Kris was always a delight to be around. Such a beautiful lady. We are sorry for your loss.
