After Rachel N. Quinn, a teacher at Bretton Woods Elementary School in Hauppauge, died, her husband Nathan Quinn wanted a way to honor her memory so he created the Rachel Quinn Children's Foundation. The foundation aims to preserve the legacy of Rachel, who used to share her "always be kind" mantra with her students.  Credit: Newsday/Reece T. Williams
