After graduating high school, Traci attended SUNY Broome Community College, followed by SUNY Cortland. She took a substitute teaching job in the Binghamton City School District, was hired the next day and stayed there for the rest of her career, teaching at Benjamin Franklin Elementary School and Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School.
In many ways, Kathy believes, the children Traci taught were much like her four nieces and nephews. She was deeply invested in their education and well-being.
During class, Traci sat on a rug with her students while she read to them, and at the school s annual Scholastic book fairs, she made arrangements to ensure each child left with a book, even if they didn t have the money to pay for it. She also invited her nieces and nephews to read to her class, and always sent them books and educational toys to use when they were young.
