Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

Kimee has a gift- she’s inclusive and non judgmental she’s compassionate empathetic and willing to do whatever it takes to educate those that most others walk away from or give up because the challenges are too difficult. Kimee looks at adversity and diversity as a gift that if understood and nurtured keeps giving .

Kimee is a bright light that never dims with regard to allowing these special children / students to reach their full potential total despite the hurdles they have to overcome to get there .
