Her love and guidance are always present—whether she’s leading her team or interacting with students. Kendra’s steady support and uplifting presence make a meaningful difference in the Ball Charter community.

Thank you, Kendra, for the heart and leadership you bring each day. We see you and appreciate you! ❤️🍎
