Q: What’s something great about your school system?
A: I love the fact that I can see my kids’ teachers out and about in our community and they know my kids and love all my kids, and know me, and have a relationship with my kids even after they’re not in their class.
Q: Tell us about an educator who was important to you.
A: [My first-grade teacher] recognized that I had a love of reading and that was something that I was interested in when I was a kid. She took the initiative to order me some extra books and give me some extra side projects to keep me interested and keep me engaged.
Q: What’s the most rewarding part of the job?
A: I really love it when we have recognitions each meeting. We recognize kids or groups that have excelled in some way . . . Being able to see all the great things that our kids and our teachers are doing and being able to celebrate that is the most rewarding thing to me.
