Our children had Mrs Seeley as a great teacher! I was fortunate to get to go with both kids and their classmates to 6th grade camp. You get to spend a lot of hours with the kids and staff. You see another side of them. Sherry and I spent many years as board members of Caring Community. Her dedication and service to our Western Reserve Community very generous! Heavens gaining a gem!
