It was a few weeks ago that we learned one of the finest people ever to teach in Fayette County would not be returning to Oak Grove Elementary School.

It was our hope that our granddaughter would have her as her teacher this year, as she had taught our two youngest daughters many years ago, and they blossomed upon experiencing her instruction.

But sadly we learned that Sue Seifert would not be returning to Oak Grove to teach. She was leaving the vocation that not only she loved, but excelled at. She will be caring for her father, and how fortunate he is to have such a daughter.

However, Oak Grove will certainly be a sadder place without her joy, her smile, and her devotion to her students (both past and present).

Thank you, Sue. You made a difference in our children’s lives, and by doing so you made our world a better place. May caring for your father bring joy to both of you.
