BROKEN ARROW, Okla. â Almost everyone can name a past teacher who somehow impacted their life for the better.
Rosewood Elementary music teacher Michelle McCarver is one of those teachers.
After teaching music for eight years in Broken Arrow, a new opportunity opened up at Rosewood Elementary, but it would take hours of hard work and commitment.
âWhen I walked into the classroom, at the beginning of the school year, there was literally nothing,â said McCarver.
McCarver built Rosewood s music program from the ground up, starting with an empty room.
