"Prior to her time at Borlaug, Hannah was a beloved member of the Garner staff, serving as a paraeducator for multiple school years, as well as completing both her practicum and student teaching experiences. Hannah's calm presence, willingness to go above and beyond, and love for all students made Hannah an amazing person and educator.

"Please continue to keep Ahmed and Hannah's family, and the Borlaug community in your thoughts during this terribly difficult time."
