So Mr. Bandenburg was my fifth grade teacher actually and I'm now a sophmore in high school.I attented Garcia Elementary, and he transfered to YES Prep the following year. I loved his class, although we only had three other teachers. I still remember him after all this time, he was an incredible teacher. He is truelt an awesome teacher but most importantly an awesome person. One of my favorite teachers of all time.
