Letter: Reaction to Former New Canaan Teacher Named CT Teacher of the Year

Hi,

Mr. Mastroianni, also affectionately known as "Peaches" back in the early 90s at New Canaan High School, is absolutely invaluable!  

He was my music teacher for concert band, jazz band and the pit orchestra for school musicals.  Always positive, always supportive, Mr. Mastroianni helped me become not only a better musician but a better human being.

I'm now writing this as a special education teacher in Washington State, and John Mastroianni played a large part in my career decision to work with youth in order to help them learn and grow.
