The best thing about being a teacher is that it matters. The hardest thing about being a teacher is that it matters everyday.
🎓📚 Attended the South Dakota Legislative Region 28A & 28B Town Hall in Lemmon to advocate for sustainable school funding & related topics. Grateful for the opportunity to speak up for our children and support schools that serve them each day.
