    Congratulations to all these wonderful teachers. Especially proud of my son Mark Goolsby. I know of the many, many hours he puts in after school, Saturdays and summer to do whatever it takes to make a difference for these boys and girls lives. He is such a fine son, brother, husband, father, friend and Christian. So proud of all he continues to do for others.

    These are Awesome teachers, they put in extra unpaid hours and spend their own money to insure the children have everything available to learn. It’s time to pay them better! A 3% Increase that does not even keep pace with Bidenomics inflation is ridiculous!
