Co-workers say it is not uncommon to walk through the library and see her dressed as one of the characters from a book she is reading to the students. She brings in so many extra things, such as monarch butterflies in their cocoons for the children to watch and then gives them a butterfly but-terfly bookmark to remind them of the day they spent with her. She is the epitome of patience and truly loves the students. She works equally well with the family to make every experience in the library memorable. Brower has donated countless volunteer hours over the past three years to Legacy Elementary. She is the chair of the schools' Community Council, acting as a liaison between the school and the community. Along with this responsibility, responsibil-ity, she took on the task of setting up Accelerated Reader at the school. Also, she trained the teachers so they could implement the Accelerated Reader program. pro-gram. After it was up and running, she has continued to volunteer her time to keep it running. She enrolls the students and aids in ordering of books and quizzes. When it came time to hire a new office aid to assist the lead secretary, it was an obvious choice to choose Rich.'

She is always positive and enthusiastic when dealing with children and other patrons, and is extremely organized and knowledgeable as to the workings of an office. She has happily served as substitute sub-stitute teacher, custodian, nurse and general counselor, coun-selor, sometimes all in the same day. "She makes the office a fun place to be." Hinckley has always commented that she feels the reason she gets along as well with third graders is that she can look them right in the eye. Kathleen gives new meaning to "good things come in small packages." pack-ages." She is a very dedicated dedicat-ed teacher who is aware of where every student in her class is at any time.

As others pass, the comments are filled with amazement that third graders could actually do this. She believes in her students, stu-dents, expecting a great deal from them, and with those expectations they achieve. 9 Vs T T-W TN TT .
