"USD 432 teachers continue to amaze me," said former USD 432 superintendent David Ottley on twitter. "They just paraded through town smiling, waving and honking at students throughout the town. Our students will be fine because of you!"

"There are a million reasons why I love raising my family in a small town," said Sean Rodger on Twitter. "This ranks in the Top Five: Our teachers care. A simple gesture to show that they miss the kids as much as the kids miss their teachers. Thank you, teachers, for your community caravan to see our children!"
