I’m hoping that this message gets to Anna G. Sweeting, if so, just wanted to let you know, you were my stepping stone to a higher education. You were my 6th grade teacher many years ago at Paul Lawrence Dunbar Elementary. Your dedication as a teacher was so profound and impacting, in my life.
Thank You
The world could use more heroes like you.
