"I believe that every human soul is teaching something to someone nearly every minute here in mortality." --Russell Ballard
Kindergarten Legend Retires
That Rosie Hymerling is not exhausted at the end of her kindergarten teaching day at Tatem Elementary is miraculous. Consider: In a recent span of seven hours, she did a somersault, jumped rope, wore a Cat in the Hat costume, broke into spontaneous song several times, donned a wig, gave dozens of kisses, held children on her lap, brokered peace treaties among fractious 5-year-olds, and listened to no fewer than four knock-knock jokes. Hymerling, 61, has been teaching for 40 years, 35 of them in Haddonfield. She is a legend in town, and news of her June retirement has touched off a flood of tributes - from a video to the first-ever Garden State Discovery Museum Achievement Award.
