I taught with Marg at Orange Elementary. She always includes
my deaf and hearing impaired students in her activities. We planted seeds, hatched chicken eggs from an incubator, and made messy art. My daughters and I went to her farm in Madison and fed peanuts to the chickens and petted the goats. She was a true treasure and advocate of hands on learning. She will be remembered by all of us at OES. I met her husband at Food Lion as he and Marg shared a cart and shopped together. She was so happy!
