Today we honor Kathy Swick, our Golden Ruler recipient. Kathy is a dedicated teacher who has spent nearly her entire career in GRF. She subbed in the district for 10 years, including Frasier School, before teaching the next 17 years in kindergarten. As student needs have shifted over the years, Kathy has adapted to meet the needs of her students. She is willing to take on the challenges that come with change throughout her years in education. Mrs. Kathy Swick is beyond deserving of the Golden Ruler.
