Thank you so much for this, Jeff. Their bios are amazing !!

Thanks for that Jeff. Very beautiful, the 4 of them! I'm familiar with many of the schools they mention so that was a really great read for me. Shanna is still teaching in Oklahoma I see, and Mounds isn't too far from Tulsa. I think Mounds is actually even smaller than Checotah!!

Well, my mother and aunt are both teachers, and I took up an educational career too, so I can really relate to that photo!

Thanks, the Underwood ladies. All of them have the same smile and looks too.

[scoutfisher]

wow, mama underwood has a masters' degree, that's impressive! it's great to see carrie use her celebrity for a cause like this - too often these days, we celebrate the wrong kind of people in our celebrity-crazed world

[c.u. brought me here]

If it was an ordinary picture and not Carrie, photographer can easily spot the lady in the middle is either a pro-model or a popular celebrity. the others are what we often seen folks posing for family snapshot.

I wonder if he ever gets his picture taken?

I like the comments about teaching by carrie's sisters/

[JB172]

Teachers never get enough credit for the work they do.

My goodness do those girls look like their mom.

[carriesfan123]

What a great article! It shows that Carrie is an excellent role model and would make an awesome teacher!

[boilermaker]

Thanks for the article. I didn't know that Carole and Steph also went to Northeastern State University. I'm sure that influenced her decision to go there.
They all have the exact same color hair in that picture which makes them look even more alike.
