Teacher. Educator. Advocate


We all stand on the shoulders of 
caring, dedicated, insightful teachers
because it's not a job, it is a craft.

We Know It's True




I watched this
and cheered all the
way through because
this lady unveiled what's

really important with youngsters!
   
Educator Rita Pierson, a 40 year
veteran once heard a colleague say:


"They don't pay me to like the kids."
 

Her response:
"Kids don't learn from
people they don’t like."



Every boy and
girl
deserves a champion. 


Where's the Love Button when I need one?

5 WINS This Week


1.  One sure sign that spring's here:  the sounds of
     trimming and lawn mowing outside the
     classroom; that familiar "hum" is with
     us all once again.  

2. Youth at Lawrenceville High School celebrated
     the final prom at the building located on Eight
     Street last evening. It's a sweet bit of history in
     our community, a rite of passage many kids and
     families will cherish.

3.  Many classes do projects for Mothers Day,
     coming up May 12th. 
I miss my mom and
     am so happy our teachers celebrate and honor
     such special people.    

4.   My colleagues inspire me with their passion!
      It's a reminder to continue my path of learning.

5.  When it finally stops raining, the explosion of
      spring color will be delightful!
