LifeChanger of the Year Nominee Profile

Kellan Morris received two nominations from an anonymous student and Tara Burch, the parent of a student. The following profile contains text from each nomination.

"Mrs. Morris is a LifeChanger," said the student. "She always asks how we are doing, and when we feel sad, she cheers us up! I love her so much! She makes learning fun. When she explains things to us, she does so well! She is the best!"

"Mrs. Morris was the teacher who really changed my son's way of thinking about the things he did in life," said Burch. "What I mean by that is she changed his way of thinking about what decisions he made about friends or his actions at school...She advocates for her kids and stands up for them. She is always willing to go out her way for the kids. Mrs. Morris is a cheerleader, coach, mom, and friend. She is a life-changing person who has changed my life, and the lives of many others."
