Awards recognize educators’ time and dedication
The Millens remember a time when they were in class together as students and a teacher referred to Kerese as the “stupid twin.” It stuck with her, and the experience traumatized her. It made Kristle and Kerese realize there are educators out there who don’t care for students. They wanted to recognize educators who are impacting students’ lives positively.
