School in 1999. In 2001, she became the Kindergarten teacher working with

is not a race, but a journey." Children need to learn through a variety of
activities and experiences that benefit them socially, academically, and
spiritually. She is honored to have the opportunity to touch the lives of
children and to witness their growth in learning!
