People have friends, good friends, and even BFF’s. “[The] United States have a little less at an average of three best friends,” Sarah Fielding wrote in her article. Even between the school teachers we can find BFF’s.

Three teachers from the English department, Kristen Rasmussen, Michelle Balmeo and Amber Ferguson; are three BFF’s that eat lunch together almost every day. 

     “I met Mrs. Rasmussen and Mrs. Balmeo when they started working here,” said Ferguson, English teacher. The BFF’s met through work, but are also outside friends. “I think the three of us [have been friends] for seven or eight years,” Rasmussen said. Their kids are also friends, and that bonds them together even more. 

     The three of them have supported each other through different circumstances, like the pandemic and other difficulties. “[We] watched our kids kind of grow up together and so we’ve just become closer and gotten to know each other better,” said Ferguson. 

     Their relationship evolved through the years since “[we] have things in common outside of school, like books and outdoor activities,” said Rasmussen. The three BFF’s enjoy spending time with each other as a break from work. But they also like to hang out outside of school, going to a book club together, or going to eat dinner together.
