Vicky Lynn Hollenweger is on a crusade.

After years of experience, Linda Beckham retired from her dream job as an educator. She loved her career, and used her diagnostic skills to create education plans for each student.

The greatest challenge she faced was getting administration to do what was best for the children. Still, inspired by her students, the parents and her family, Ms. Beckham strove to create a strong learning environment.

They served to remind the kids that there was always a “monkey on their back,” so to speak, so it was important to pay attention and make the most of the opportunity they had to learn.
