Katie Brown was in
Washington DC for the National PTA Teacher of the Year program at the time of
the convention, but sent a video message to WSPTA convention attendees since
she couldn't be there in person. As Washington State Teacher of the Year,
Brown hopes to advocate for needs of parents as well as students. As part of
the Washington State Teacher of the Year program, teachers submitted a short
story about students who inspire them for the OSPI publication, "From
Seed to Apple." Brown decided to write a poem about all of her students
and she shared her touching poem, "If You Really Knew Me" with
convention attendees at the conclusion of her presentation. To view her presentation, go to the You
