David Holzapfel taught my daughter when she attended Marlboro Elementary School. As an African-American student among mostly white classmates, she often felt marginalized.
David did an outstanding job of helping my daughter learn more about her heritage. He took her to the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem on the class's research trip to New York City so she could research her report on the Harlem Renaissance.
It really meant a lot to her, and to me.
David is what teaching is all about.
