I did not have Mrs Smith as a teacher. I did not move to Bishop until 6th grade. However, I was fortunate to be friends with her eldest daughter, Dee. I spent time at the Smithsonian and witnessed Nancy's love and dedication to learning firsthand. As an adult, it was clear how much she loved her community. I was told, by some of her former students, that she would not only remember them many years later, but keep up with their lives on social media. I was always envious of them. Knowing at such an early age that someone other than your parents genuinely loved and cared about you set the precedent for the rest of your life. Naming the very place that would happen after her is only fitting.

My grandma dedicated her life to her students and community. I don't think there is a more perfect person to represent Bishop Primary School in her honor. We would love to see the school renamed! :)

Nancy was a key component in Bishop, TX. She was a lecagy and and taught many children in Bishop. She was a Badger Alumni and class of 1964. No one can ever replace her but she must live on in the request for a name change of our building
