Scott's teacher is Mrs. Edmonds. She is 29 years old and a 1 year Breast Cancer survivor. When we came into the school year, she was facing a double masectomy and radiation. She is an amazing teacher and has an incredibly strong spirit. Mrs. Edmonds came to school every day with a a smile on her face and a huge amount of love for our children. I feel so blessed to have her in our life.
Below are pictures of a suprise walk that we did for Mrs. Edmonds. It is the end of the year and Christine, another Pink Pacer, and I decided that we could not let the school year end without recognizing the how amazing she was this year. The children decorated race bibs and wore them on their backs like we do in our actual walk. Mrs. E had no idea that we were going to honor her in this way. I think that we were able to thank her in a way that was subtle and meaningful. When she walked out of the office the children belted out "We are walking for YOU!" It was a heartwarming moment.
Scott was so proud to walk for his wonderful teacher.
Thank you Mrs. E for showing me that we have to keep walking because we are and WILL make a difference.
Walk on...
We are on our way!
I am not sure teachers can get any better then Mrs. Edmonds.
Proud Anna and Scott.
