“I am a celebrity! Without fail, when I am out in the community, I will look around and find an elementary-aged child looking at me. When we make eye contact, they get a huge smile and a glow on their face! For about two seconds, I feel like a million bucks! Then it dawns on me that I do not know this person, and they are, in fact, looking at the person next to me.
Mrs. Hanvey is the music teacher at Snow Springs Elementary. She teaches all students K-6 in the entire school (over 700 students), and they know and love her! They get excited to see her at the store, at a restaurant, at community events, and in the schools. She pours her heart and soul into loving students and helping them create a love for music. Also, without fail, she will smile and greet the student by name and ask them a question about something going on in their lives. Thank you, Mrs. Hanvey! You are the best!”
