Why WE love OUR job!

It’s not everyday you GET to be someone who can positively impact the lives of others. Us? Yes, we GET TO DO THIS EVERYDAY!

• We Get to hug those sullen-faced children
• We Get to VISIT classes everyday/every week
• We Get to celebrate WINS, Good News Referrals, and Caught You Doing Something Right
• We Get to help students solve problems
• We Get to see teachers MOTIVATE kiddos AND motivate teachers ourselves!
• We Get to watch children grow, literally in real-time
• We Get to collaborate, problem solve and communicate
• We Get to high five and knuckle pound all day
• We Get to smile and laugh with kids that may not do that at home
• We Get to leave school knowing that tomorrow will be another chance to improve the life of SOMEONE

I am going to say it again, I am so lucky to work with such a dedicated group of teachers that will take NO EXCUSES to ensure that our students are successful!! Happy Holidays and have a Happy New Year!!
