Not sure what to say?





On International Women's Day, my hat is off to a very strong woman. She was determined to make "her" school the best it could be. She went from school to school trying to persuade the best teachers she could to move to Fairview. She achieved her goal. She is missed.

I am very sad for your loss. Your loved-one was a former teacher of mine and I remember her well, even though my time with her was over 40 years ago. May the memories of those she touched through her years of teaching offer you support during your grieving moments.
