Kate Hooks' Story Now Online

I just got back from visiting Kate, the inspiring city teacher (at Poly) who blogs here. Kate recently had some pretty serious surgery related to her progressing MS, so please send her your good thoughts and prayers.

Her story, told a few weeks ago, is now online. Do yourself a favor and listen to it. What you should learn from it is that (a) Kate is an amazing person and b) Baltimore City kids, despite reputation to the contrary, have a great deal of empathy for their fellow human.

Kate told her story as part of the Stoop Storytelling Series; they learned about her story in this feature in Baltimore Magazine. They, by the way, learned about Kate's story from this very blog.
