How have they made an impact?

My wife is a pre-K teacher in Manasquan and is constantly going above and beyond for her students. She’s always keeping the parents updated as to what is going on in the classroom and updating them with pictures. She keeps them informed, and the parents really appreciate it. Just this week, she finished having baby chicks hatch in her classroom so the kids could experience it. She had the eggs in an incubator for 21 days and had the whole thing live-streamed, with everyone in the school and board office watching. She is truly meant for this job, and everyone who knows her in the school system would agree.”

What are three words that best describe them?

Selfless, dedicated, caring.

Thank you for all you do, Rebecca Riley!
