Wendy Milburn

Clay Springs Elementary

North Learning Community

“My mom was a fifth-grade teacher, and I remember how much she loved it, even though she was overwhelmed with the workload and raising her children. She would also stay late at school to take care of the things she couldn’t do during her lesson-planning period. I volunteer as a tribute and nod to my mom. If I can give a teacher just a few minutes of their day back, then I consider it a win.”
