Nancy Wold xonancyxo2002@yahoo.com Mrs. Pearson was my 4th grade teacher at Riverside Elementary. I remember her calling us "Pre-Teenagers," we thought that made us sooo grown up. I am sad to hear that she is gone. Please, know that she affected so many children's lives for the better. May GOD bless her family at this time. Nancy Wold Diana Anderson Bell Mrs. Pearson was my third grade teacher as well. Some of my fondest memories are of my years at Riverside Elementary and Mrs. Pearson was one of my all time favorite Teachers.
