“Anne, go in there and MAKE IT COUNT!”

These were the final words that Mrs. Knutty heard before she entered the interview room to sit down and interview for a teaching position at Dunbar Elementary. It had been a dream of Mrs. Knutty to return to her home city and impact lives like she had been impacted as a child.

Almost immediately after the interview Mrs. Knutty found out she had been hired and thus began 33 years of pouring into little Blue Devils lives. For the past 32 years Anne has taught only 3rd grade.

Her story is almost story book…return to your hometown, get a job, reconnect with one of your classmates, marry that classmate, give birth to two incredible children, and impacting the lives of kids on a daily basis.

But the details that fill in the gaps between each of these chapters help you and I, the listeners, see why Mrs. Knutty is such an influential and special teacher.

I can’t wait for you to hear her story. Think about what it might be like to be in her classroom. Think about her words of wisdom where she encourages her students, aspiring educators, and our listeners to:

Build each other up…

Encourage one another…

Let others know the good you see in them, and all around…

So, grab a cup of Crimson Cup Coffee, turn up the headphones, and enjoy this interview with the incredible Anne Knutty.
