When I think of my time at Thornton, I think of Mr. Hruska and the impact he had on me. I was in his class in grade 7 and 8 and he was always a wonderful teacher and coach throughout it all. You could tell he loved his job, students and everyone he interacted with. He made going to school and learning a fun experience. The nature walks, the fun science competitions and the countless other examples of him going out of his way to put a smile on everyone's face made him such a joy to be around. I remember him jumping around in the Montréal hotel when the raptors won their championship and always having a can of diet Pepsi on his desk. He inspired me and countless others to strive for excellence in academics, athletics and just being a good person. He will be deeply missed.
