Imagine a teacher full of enthusiasm, love for her students, excitement for the new day, and a passion for teaching and learning. See her at her desk before and after school thinking up new and creative ways to engage, support, motivate, enrich, and excite her students. Imagine those students coming in with challenges in their young lives, sometimes ready to learn and sometimes not. Now think of them as a family that grows together each day Monday through Friday for a year. Imagine the possibilities. See in your mind's eye the magic that happens when students are celebrated, a community of learners develops, risks are encouraged and taken, mistakes are made, students do not give up, and learning is real and powerful. A passion for learning that develops in a young child can last a lifetime. With your generous support of my projects, you help make this vision a reality. My students and I thank you.
