"I haven't been so moved since my third tour of duty in Vietnam." - Audience Member

“Perhaps the most telling of all, a week later when I began our next writing unit called “Hall of Heroes”, I asked my students to identify personal or famous American heroes. Once they agreed to someone, they were to come forward and write that person’s name on the board. When I looked up at the board, among such heroes as Helen Keller, Martin Luther King, Jr, Abraham Lincoln and JFK was the name Shelley Moon.”

-C. Barnes, teacher

“Something I think that I’ll always remember about Shelley is her poems. Shelley’s poems were so beautiful, for me words couldn’t describe how beautiful they were. She taught me that writing is good for you because you can turn any experience or feeling you have into a story, a poem, a letter, just anything. Shelley was an inspiration to me. I loved her courage and spirit.”

-Veronica, Middle School Student

“I will always remember the day Shelley came into our class and changed how we all felt about each other. It seemed like for a split second we all liked each other and cared about each other. Suddenly nothing mattered, not money, not popularity. Just that we were all people”

-Kicum, Middle School Student
