So sorry for the loss of Nancy. Our son Brett was taught by her in 1996. The mother goose plays were the best! Rest in peace Nancy.

When I was in high school at GINW, I worked at 1R in the afternoons helping out some teachers. I so enjoyed working with "Miss Rupp" in her classroom. Hugs and prayers to the family.
