We were truly blessed to her her as part of the staff, and she continues to be a great leader, role model, teacher, and friend to not only me but everyone at St. Francis.

I guarantee that you will not find a teacher like her, who puts her students before her. Please reconsider so that future knights can get the kind of help she gives.

]]> Wed, 23 May 2012 12:15:57 UTC 12895147 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/12894741?utm_medium=rss Dawn Dempsey is a great teacher and an amazing person. I believe that she is a breed of teacher that is declining in schools across the country. She has dedicated her life to teaching students and connecting with them in a way that many teachers (especially in the field of mathematics) don't even attempt. She stays after hours to help her own students along with those that aren't even in her class. That is true dedication, and it is very unfortunate that someone can't see the value in that.

]]> Wed, 23 May 2012 12:27:17 UTC 12892032 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/12891957?utm_medium=rss Ms Dempsey is the heart and soul of SFS. She exemplifies what our patron saint would want us to be like. If you force her to resign for a coach who has no teaching experience and is not qualified to teach her courses, then you are going against what SFS is all about: "Be who you are and be that well". Ms Dempsey has never lost her touch with the students even through her cancer and this would be a grave mistake on the administration if she is not asked to be back!

I know for a fact I would not be the same person without her as a teacher my freshman year. I wish future knights would still experience that wonderful influence, as she truly helps boys grow into fine young men.

She also taught me in 8th grade, and moved to St. Francis around the same time I did. She has always provided me with amazing advice and has been a wonderful person to be around. She has been a prevalent role model throughout my life. I am shocked to learn of her termination, and I am appalled that the school board would do this. Please reconsider your decision.

]]> Sun, 20 May 2012 11:34:29 UTC 12873356 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/12873142?utm_medium=rss Ms Dempsey was without a doubt one of the best teachers I was able to take class with at St Francis. Her love for and devotion to her students is second to none and losing her from the faculty would be an awful loss for the school and for all future knights.

]]> Sun, 20 May 2012 09:17:59 UTC 12872883 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/12872816?utm_medium=rss I did not have Ms. Dempsey as a teacher during my 4 years at St. Francis but she is an asset to the Knight community far beyond just the classroom. She was a person who I could always count on to help me in any situation, whether it was academic or personal. Terminating her is an insult to the students that relied on her, the spirit of St. Francis de Sales High School, and most importantly Ms. Dempsey herself, who has given many years of exemplary service to this institution.

]]> Sun, 20 May 2012 08:56:37 UTC 12872816 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/12872457?utm_medium=rss She gave more money to the school than she ever took from it, she was the best teacher in the school hands down.

She is an incredible human being and a wonderful educator. I do not want my younger brother, now a student at SFS, to miss out on having her as a teacher as well. Please reconsider!

]]> Sun, 20 May 2012 02:30:50 UTC 12870957 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/12870140?utm_medium=rss Ms. Dempsey has served the St. Francis community with unwavering dedication and passion. Her termination shows a lack of vision and ignorance among the administration. I will be returning my Annual Appeal envelope empty this year.

]]> Sun, 20 May 2012 11:41:34 UTC 12870140 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/12870036?utm_medium=rss Although I did not attend St. Francis de Sales High School I am close with several people who attend or have graduate from the school. I know Dawn Dempsey and can honesty say that she has made a difference in every single one of these students lives. Ask any student about their high school experience at St Francis de Sales and Dawn Dempsey will ALWAY be mentioned without having to ask about her. Termination of her employment would hinder the experience of St francis for all future classes.

]]> Sat, 19 May 2012 11:10:13 UTC 12867295 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/12866888?utm_medium=rss Dawn Dempsy played a significant role not only in our two son's education but in their personal lives. In addition to her exceptional teaching skills she has a compassionate heart which helped our sons beyond the classroom and beyond graduation. Her presence at SFS made a difference in their lives and I am sure other students as well. I don't know the circumstances of her being let go, but I cannot imagine it was a disciplinary reason. It saddens me to think what else the reason could be.

They can hire new sports coaches, but fire teachers who cared enough about their students to stay hours after class EVERY single day. I swear that SFS will never get a single penny from me ever in the future. So much for being who you were and being that well.

When I hear St. Francis she is one of the first people I think of. She does so much for the school! She stays till five-thirty every day to tutor kids. She donates so much to the knight card campaigns. There is no possible reason on any level that makes me think Ms. Dempsey should EVER be removed from the St. Francis de Sales Highschool staff

]]> Sat, 19 May 2012 02:06:53 UTC 12864964 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/12864903?utm_medium=rss Ms. Dempsey is the spirit of St. Francis de Sales. She has always given the extra 110% to give to her students, and she will continue to because she cares so much. St. Francis would lose a lot more than an amazing, wonderful teacher. They would lose a Saint.

She is one of the most qualified person to represent the true virtues of St. Francis de Sales. Shes always taken it upon herself to provide her time and services to enlighten her students with knowledge, both in math and life skills. the sfs community will be affected greatly with the loss of such a great person. p.s. she is one of the reasons we achieve our quotas for any one of our fundraisings.

]]> Sat, 19 May 2012 08:36:27 UTC 12863701 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/12863671?utm_medium=rss Mrs. Dempsey in no way deserves to be terminated. The woman does nothing but give herself to st. Francis and its students. The accusation that she is an ineffective teacher is just outrageous. I had her as a teacher last year and i was more than well prepared for precalculous with fr. Exjet. Not onlynisnshena wonderful teacher but when I came to this school last year, mrs.neepsey made me feel so welcome, like I was family. I beg of you do not take that away from future knights.

]]> Sat, 19 May 2012 08:29:44 UTC 12863671 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/12863578?utm_medium=rss This saddens me deeply. Ms. Dempsey has given my son an appreciation for learning math, a feat a feared was impossible. To read these comments left here, one can only conclude that she does, in fact, connect with her students. She is honored, appreciated, and loved by the student body and their families. It’s a shame the administration at SFS did not investigate properly. Lesson learned: Money talks. You can’t please everyone. If you’ve angered the person WITH the money, you're gone.

Her class was a life changing experience and she should not be replaced because of some dumb highschool students that just don't give a shit about math.

When you fire someone who epitomizes all that is St Francis in every aspect of her life, you undermine the core values of our school.

It is a testament to the integrity and foundation of the very pillars of what St Francis De Sales is and what it stands for. I am praying that the administration takes all of this into consideration. For if they do not, perhaps "Be who you are and be that well" are merely only words.
