What is your favorite thing about being an educator? I love how every day is different and seeing students grow, both socially and academically.
What are you looking forward to this school year and/or favorite memory from this school year? The 8th grade ski trip is one of my favorite times of year. Most students have never skied before and learn a lifelong skill!
