Jamboree celebrates teacher Johnson

Bethany Blitz/Coeur d’Alene Press reports:

The 4-foot-10 music teacher often had to stand on the piano bench while she was playing so she could watch her students as they sang.

The late Julie Johnson spent time teaching in about every elementary school in the Coeur d’Alene School District plus some middle schools. Her passion and joy spread like wildfire to everyone around her.

Now, eight years after her death, her influence is still celebrated at the annual Julie Johnson Jamboree. More here.
