FEATURED TEACHER

Rachel Hamilton Smith

I have taught for over 30 years in various roles.

When I was in the classroom I was grateful for the generous gifts that students would buy to say thank-you.

I am fortunate to have had many opportunities in my own life and am grateful that I have everything I need in life.

Teacher presence gives me the opportunity to give back and see the gratitude from families paid forward.
