Judy Kay Frome
Las Vegas, NV
Fourth Grade teacher
Judy milked cows for twenty years, then had five kids as a stay-at-home mom, before becoming a teacher. Judy likes fourth graders because they can read and write and no hormones have kicked in. Judy collects a folder of love letters her students write to her. Her favorite one was written to her by Emily Burden four years after she had been Judy's student, who said that, for the first time in her life, Judy had made learning fun.
Judy has a little treasure box of prizes for students who do great things in her class. Judy spends about $400 to $500 of her own money on this. Meredith presents Judy with a $1,000 gift certificate from CVS.
Nancy Christy is introduced as today's Expert. Nancy is holding herjosie.
