FARMVILLE, Va., May 26 -- Longwood University issued the following news release:
From the age of eight, Tammy Bird Jones '81 knew she wanted to be an educator.
"I played teacher all the time. I had a chalkboard and everything," she said. "Family would visit, and my aunts and uncles would try to get away from me because they knew I'd pull them into my 'classroom.'"
Those aspirations eventually led Jones to Longwood, where she graduated with a degree in education and embarked on a successful career as a teacher, principal, and, after retiring, a supervisor of student teachers and mentor to aspiring educators like she once was.
