As we wrap up Teacher Appreciation Week, we’re sharing a powerful reminder that one teacher can change everything. In a deeply personal reflection, E2CCB Board of Education member Sylvester Cleary honors his sixth-grade teacher, Mr. Rice, who saw a struggling student and offered more than support — he offered a path forward, starting with a trumpet and a simple message to keep going.
Read Mr. Cleary’s full story at the link below. 💙🍎
