 Once upon a time, there was a wonderful teacher who loved her kids, and they loved her. The other teachers loved her too. She really devotes a lot of time to each of her kids, each individual kid. Some of them have different special needs, some of them have other different kinds of needs, so she just works with them, she talks with them, she gets to know them, she gets to know their moms and dads, and she gets to know their brothers and sisters as well. Kathy is somebody that continues to challenge us all and makes everyone rise to the next level. And with her work ethic, and the work ethic of many people on my staff, we don't slow down for anything. Every day, she and her students will read. And it was Tom and Hannah. And Sing. Ryan and Noah are here. High home away they go. And Draw. And Stop. But she would also teach them to be friends. She's forward thinking enough that she makes sure that they're not just learning how to use facilities, they're not just learning colors, numbers, they're learning basic manners. Basic respect for adults, basic respect for other children. Every year, she will bring stories to my friend in her classroom. Now, when Miss Kathy came in and I got the privilege to work with her, it was like, wow, is this fun? She got lots of equipment in preschool, and she had all kinds of fun ideas for kids to do, and it made preschool a lot more fun and exciting. She came in and did different workshops for our staff to help them better themselves as professionals. Kathy is a leader and activist and an organizer at all levels of her life, whether it's in her community, in her profession, or in her union. And at the heart of all of that is her students. She's a wonderful teacher. Teaching is important because to be a teacher is to make sure that everybody else, every other profession has all the information that they need. So if you want to be a doctor, you need a teacher. If you want to be a lawyer, you need a teacher to help you out. So we get to teach all the people who learn to do all the jobs we have in the world. The end.
