Cedar Hill Elementary School fifth-grade teacher Kennedy Cobble is no stranger to funny looks.

“I would get so many stares being in a wheelchair, or if I had a walker or crutches or a cane … but nobody would really say anything, except for kids,” said Cobble, a four-time cancer survivor. “That’s (one) reason I wanted to go into teaching; I liked that (kids) were so up front and honest and flat-out asked me.”
