The Editor’s Notes
Tammi Sutton has been missing since Saturday when she was in Roanoke Rapids around 2pm driving a grey 2015 Nissan Pathfinder NC license plate AJJ-6170. She is beloved by so many of us #nced. My favorite moment with her was when she said to a group of policymakers, “Is it hard to educate kids in poverty? Yes! So what? Let’s do it.”
If you know anything, please call your local law enforcement. In this video, you can see Tammi and hear her voice if you don’t know her. Please share on social media. Many in the education orbit know Tammi. Let’s find her.
To her pride, we are with you.
