Beloved Karen, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎉🎈🎊 Your belief in me and fellow P.E.R.C. Physical Educators throughout the decades has impacted many lives(educators, students, and families) in a positive way.

Reminding us to make meaningful connections with family in fun ways thru physical activity or recreational activities with MUCH LOVE 💕! Today and always, Liz and I celebrate your spirit with a dedicated bike ride with my Hadley blue zip up. Pictures to come. We love and miss you Hadley.

When it comes to educating children and steering them to reach their full potential, Karen represents the quintessential of that caring educator. I came so far as a teacher because of Karen when she took me under her wing as the boys basketball coach for her school. I love teaching sports skills, but Karen revealed a light of sports that teaches life values. Even I as an employee working alongside Karen grew as a coach and furthermore a contributing member in a school community. That's what Karen's natural aura do for the people around her. You just can't help but to see the bigger picture in what you do. And thus, I found my passion in cultivating the developmental milestones for children in sports and Physical Education. This year's for Karen's birthday, I plan to make a contribution to Positive Coaching Alliance in honor of Karen and all she did for me and youth sports.

I keep Karen with me everyday with all she has taught me, as an educator. Remembering that each day we have a victory; whether big or small, we will accomplish something and inspire someone everyday we educate our students. I know she is with me and smiles each time there is a success that I or my students have accomplished! I am so thankful for Karen! I will be celebrating Karen on her birthday by participating in a "Girls on the Run" 5k with one of my students and will watch the Giants Game 1:05! I will be posting a picture after the race!
