Thank you to the Cherokee County Retired Teachers Association for awarding Mr. Coach Ian, our RES PE coach’s assistant, an academic scholarship to support his pursuit of a degree in Elementary Education. I was honored to attend the recipient luncheon with him.
Mr. Ian and I are longtime classmates who grew up together in this very community, life- long friends, now colleagues and fellow educators. He is an extraordinary individual: an incredibly talented musician and entertainer, a natural motivator, and someone who connects effortlessly with kids.
This year he has taken on many new and challenging roles, and I’ve been so proud to watch him shine. His future as an educator is bright, and this scholarship is a well-deserved step toward the exceptional teacher he’s on his way to becoming.
❤️❤️An extra-special moment during the luncheon was getting to visit with Coach A, a longstanding educator and true Rusk Elementary School legend who faithfully served as the PE coach for many years and left big shoes for those that followed to fill. I was able to capture a photo of him with Mr. Ian, two generations of RES coaches in one frame. It was such a meaningful moment to witness and preserve.
