WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS SCHOOL YEAR?
This school year I look forward to getting to know my new group of students. I love having conversations with them each year about their lives. It isn’t all about what they know or will learn but who they are, their likes and dislikes. Those are the parts that build that bond and relationship, and I am blessed to have many past students whom I can’t wait to see, as well, because of the bond I made with them when they were in my classroom.
