"I am always amazed at the quality of writing Mr. Sites draws from my students.
He is able to engage the students while helping them to create a well-written piece of writing. Mr. Sites has a talent for reaching even the most unwilling student, students that even I, as their teacher, have had a hard time reaching. I appreciate Ernie's devotion to the students and future writers."
