Thanks, teacher!

Beverly Johnson, who taught kindergarten at Dalton Elementary, received a big surprise when three of her former students stopped by her home this week to thank her for giving them a great start in their academic careers. 

As they prepare to graduate from Coeur d'Alene High School, Hudson Staub, Spencer Gomez and Sam Lee — all among the top 10 academically ranked students in their class — showed their gratitude to Johnson with flowers, smiles and hugs.
