CA Cotty wrote a sympathy message

“I was a student of Mrs. Draus in 67-68 -- we were all in awe of a classy lady who knew her stuff and managed a bunch of silly junior high students! I so admired her lovely clothes, stylish hairdo, and high heels, not to mention what an inspiration she was in terms of knowing the content and having high expectations of every one of us. In fact, I became a high school English teacher because of her and often thought about her in my years in the classroom. May she soar with the angels! RIP.”

Carol Kopca wrote a sympathy message

“It goes without saying that Mrs. Drauss was a legendary teacher and mentor at Charles J Sahs! Many years later, many of us unknowingly AND knowingly (LOL) use the tools she taught us. Like ensuring you ENUNCIATE your words properly when speaking AND singing! STAND STRAIGHT AND SING FROM YOUR DIAPHRAGM! So if you're reading this....sing from your heart...and your diaphragm...for her.🩷 Class of 1989”

“Ms. Draus was more than a mentor to me. She was the reason I am who I am today. She fought for me when I did not or would not fight for myself. Ms. Draus gave her whole heart to us Sahs kid's. I appreciate her wholeheartedly and will miss her. She was a great role model, mentor and friend. Ms. Draus, I thank you for being the push I needed when I was to lazy for myself. I am forever grateful. To her family my deepest condolences and prayers. Ms. Draus saved a lot of us Sahs kid's”
