VA Milken Educators Welcome Caroline Eschenbach

 

 

Veteran Milken Educators welcome Caroline Eschenbach (VA '18) to the family. "I'm really proud to be here today as a fellow Roanoke city educator," says Wade Whitehead (VA '00), who teaches fifth grade at Crystal Spring Elementary School, to the students in front of him. "Your teachers care a lot about your school. ... When you get back to your classroom, I want you to find your teachers and tell them 'Thank you.' This school is an anchor of our community, and we have a lot to be thankful for."
