Mr. Berger has been teaching elementary students at GIPS for 22 years.

Anyone that has met him knows he's more than a P.E. teacher — he's a champion of student achievement, responsibility, and a believer in the power of positive encouragement.

We wanted to share his story. Along the way, he was fortunate enough to hear directly from a former student to see his impact first-hand.

Episode six of our video series: "Why I Teach Today".

Because teachers are everyday heroes.
