Mrs. Reeder was my favorite teacher. She was my Third Grade Teacher. I am now a Third Grade Teacher and have been teaching for 16 years. I have mentioned Mrs Reeder many times to the students I have taught over those years. Her legacy will be passed on many more generations. I promise. I wish her husband, her son, and her family my sincere condolences. I am very sorry to hear of her passing.
