Sending my condolences to Dexter I. and Family

My teacher, She was one of the many that gave me the courage to move up the ladder. She wore many hats: an Educator, Dedicated, Caring, Empathetic, she was just an Amazing Teacher. I will always remember her, you just don't have teachers hardly like her anymore. I am so grateful to have had her as one of my elementary school teachers.

THANK YOU, Ms. STEWART RIGHTEOUS HARVEY
