YAYWORTHY:

Nominator Danielle Phelps said:

"She goes above and beyond to support students and staff. She creates great student and parent connections that last long past their time in her classroom. The care and commitment she has for her school is shown in everything (required and not required) that she does.

"Recently, Varina Elementary School implemented the House System. If you know anything about the implementation of this, you know it is a lot of work! She worked closely with me over the summer to make sure that we implemented it seamlessly. This work was not required of her, but she did it because she knew it would make a difference for our students."

Thank you for all you do, Kate McRae, to make a positive difference and move HCPS forward!
