From Yahaira Chanlatte

I was on Zulema's second grade team last year. We were so excited about having her back on our team this year, especially after she decided NOT to go back to fifth grade. She was an integral part of our team, and it just will not be the same without her. We loved her very much and admired her, both as a person and as a teacher. She gave so much of herself, and we would always encourage her to at least take some time for herself. But even when she took a day off, she would be in the school assessing her kids to meet some deadline. She will be extremely missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
