Thanks to Lori in Portland for sharing today's Happy News, we LOVE local stories!!
Kindergarten teacher Emily Foster has taught hundreds of students in her 42-year career and on Wednesday, 20 of those familiar faces walked through her door at Sabin Elementary School in Northeast Portland.
Wearing caps and gowns, her 2010-11 kindergarteners are now graduating from high school. And before they go off into their post-graduate world, the students wanted to thank one of their first and most formative teachers.
Emily had not seen most of the students since they left the school, but was able to still name many of them or recall how many siblings they have and said teaching and learning about her students is her highest priority.
