I signed up on behalf of my mother-in-law. She teaches social studies and language arts to 3rd graders.

I asked her recently if the politics of education are starting to weigh on her (she's old enough to retire). She looked at me and said, "things could be better, easier, but I love teaching."

She really does. She's a kind woman and really cares for her students.

I've never seen her cry before, but when she read the letter from Brina, her santa, she shed a few tears. She's incredibly grateful and so am I. Thank you for supporting teachers. Thank you for helping her and her students. She is so thankful!!!
