That's Kelly, known to you as Mocha Momma. Hence the photo. She is an extraordinary blogger and story teller, daughter, parent and friend. She also is a learning disabilities expert and "literacy coach" and now an assistant principal, and this week she posted something that reminded me again of how critical her work is and how well she does it. Take a minute for a brief inkling of what it's like to work in an "underserved" school - and at the difference one exceptional woman can make. You'll be proud.
