"Miss Kuhn" was one of my favorite teachers, both at Barrackville and at Farmington. She was special lady.

Ms. Kuhn was a great teacher. I enjoyed her gym classes & will never forget her referring to us a "yard birds" when we were not performing to her standards. Her health classes were quite enjoyable. Her classes played an integral role in influencing my decision to peruse a career in the health care field as a Physician Assistant. Condolences to her family.
