Tell us why you became a teacher

She became a teacher for the love of the children and the love of teaching!!! Her enjoyment in the classroom was inspiring and gratifying. Truely a joy to encounter.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

She had so many… Her memories are enormous. The thrill of watching the kids encapsulate the knowledge was thrilling to her.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would assume she’d enjoy spending it on those students she’s still in touch with… A grand Galla to show her love for them.
