Some dreams start early.

In 2004, Grace Hemmer's students had fur, floppy ears and lived in her bedroom.

Today, she's standing in front of a real classroom and has been named Shelby County Schools' First-Year Secondary Teacher of the Year.

Congratulations, Grace, on this well-deserved recognition. We can't wait to see the lives you'll impact in the years ahead. 🍎📚
