In their own words

Héloïse Landry has spent a career changing lives through language and story. These are the words of students who carry that with them — offered freely, and quoted exactly as written.

I was the shy girl who didn't want to express herself. By watching you teach, telling us stories about how you see life, you changed my way of seeing it. You are and always will be an inspiration to me.

Ashley Carrierformer student, Richmond Regional High School

I was the kid who sat in the back and never said a word. You gave me a small role for the end-of-year show, and that moment on stage changed everything. You didn't just teach Drama — you taught us to be human.

Marcus Dupontformer Drama student, now studying theatre arts

Your French class was the only place I felt truly safe to make mistakes and laugh about them. I got into a bilingual program at university — thank you for being that teacher who sees the whole person.
