'Dedicated teacher that gives her all': Watertown Hero

WATERTOWN, MA — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. Together with Ring, we’re working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

This submission comes from Ina Breuer who nominated Janelle Tribbe of Watertown. Tribbe is a special education teacher who continued to teach some of her students in-person. Tribbe used to teach Breuer's child and called her a "Dedicated teacher that gives her all to her kids and their families."

Thank you for all you do, Janelle Tribbe!
