PHILOSOPHY

• The impact a teacher makes on a childs life is
  priceless. The teacher can plant a seed of hope,
  encouragement, drive to succeed, positive
  attitude of themselves and others that will last
  forever. The teacher may not see the seed
  flourish, yet the impact is still there. To
  enrich a childs life is worth every graded
  paper, created lesson plan, and long work day.
  To teach is to apply knowledge and skills to
  produce true understanding.
