I met Mrs. Tate when she was the custodian at Lake Rim Elementary School in 2021. She is the most kindest and sweetest individual you would ever meet. The students and staff loved her. I had the opportunity the work with her for two years. Staff was very upset to lose her to Long Hill ES. She is very dependable and someone that you can count on!
