Dumas, AR Monday, January 11, 2021 Mrs. Socia and I taught in Dumas in the early 2000 era. Later in our careers, we were instructional facilitators. For a third time, our career paths led us to working in the same district. She was a part of our elementary team. Before Covid preventing us from having large team meetings, we would often sit together and even had an inside joke of “Wonder Twin Powers activate” and fist bump! She understood student learning and what was required to get students there. Her passion was for students and learning. My sincerest condolences to her husband Curt, her daughter Jordan and the rest of her family.Brenda Griffin
