She teaches to make a positive impact on her students’ lives, to make their day a little brighter and to provide lifelong skills to carry with them. So much compassion exudes from her as she teaches about music and striving to achieve dreams. To know her is a blessing as she leaves a little sparkle with everyone she meets and makes them feel that they matter." - Leann Tackett (LHMS Staff) #LHWolfNation
