Superstars

Have you ever walked with a teacher when school is being let out? I have. No matter what teacher I walk with (and I tend to bend the ear of many a teacher- go figure), I feel like I am walking the red carpet with a celebrity. Not a sentence is completed without a shout of "HI Mrs...." or a random hug around the knees by a passerby. These aren't mere teachers that roam the bus loop, they are counselors, they are roll models, they are super-heroes!

Teaching goes far beyond what is presented in text books, we all know that! How many of us have the patience and endurance to take a room full of other peoples kids, and guide them for the majority of the day? How many of us can evaluate a child's mood and give them the appropriate encouragement? I know I can't.

To all the teachers that have taken our boys in and not only taught them, but loved them- THANK YOU! Mark and I appreciate all you have done for our children. We willingly lend them to you and know they will return all the better for having you as their teachers. Good job teachers!
