I had the privilege of working with Inez at Heritage Elementary school. Inez was very understanding of the needs of both students & teachers. She would come up with a plan to help them succeed. She was a lovely lady who I had the pleasure of working with. Sincerely, Diane Bieber. - Posted by: Diane Bieber (Friend & teaching colleague ) on: Jan 06, 2024
