Teacher Visits Their Student With Leukemia At Home Every Day To Help Study

Heim has worked for 35 years as a first-grade teacher at Conneaut Valley Elementary School in Conneautville, PA. She goes the extra mile to help Harrison Conner keep a good attitude and help with his learning as he battles leukemia.
