PLYMOUTH, Minn. — In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week , “GMA” is honoring educators, including educators like Mike Peterson, a custodian-turned-substitute at Plymouth Middle School in Plymouth, Minnesota.
When Peterson decided to retire in 2021, he came right back to the school as a substitute teacher for math, his favorite subject. “Initially, I thought he came back as a custodian when I saw him in the hall. But then, [when I realized] he had a class and he came back as a substitute teacher, I was just so impressed,” said Wurdeman.
“You can't replace that knowledge from all those years. How can you replace somebody who knows things from 29 years of working there now?” said wife Sheri Peterson. “That's his family.” Most importantly, the students are happy to have Peterson back in the school and say he is always in a good mood and treats students like family.
"That's what I'd like to introduce for the kids that are having some issues. When I was a kid I had some issues but I've learned to go and did I stumble? Yes. But I kept going and going and going and tell you the truth, through that, I've been successful. I think I have the best building. I enjoy working. It's one of those things, coming in here, it is an adventure every day in the classroom," Peterson added.
