I am a second grade teacher in Virginia. I feel so fortunate to have Casey as my Bestie! We both moved to second after having previously teaching third and commiserated on how different second really is. Lucky for us, even our children enjoyed hanging out together -- since we secretly planned to have my sons to marry her daughters so we can be in-laws.

It is amazing how often she thinks of something at the exact same moment as me! We collaborate, laugh, cry and support each other through every single day, virtually and in person!
