East Elementary: Excellence at Work
Staff Newsletter for 2015-2016, Episode 6
A Teacher's Poem
Though paperwork the night before seemed like a grueling race.
Money's not your motivation, it's the love for what you do.
You hear that special calling to which you always will stay true.
Your students are your dedication; your devotion is to them.
To you each child is unique and special, a beautiful little gem.
Some days are just demanding and frustration takes its course.
Then you see those little faces and their inspiration is your force.
Each day you are in your classroom reminds you of why you're there.
Making differences in children's lives with whom your heart you share.
There's a special pride in teachers, and a love for what you do.
And appreciation is always shared between those little lives and you!
by THE LEARNING STATION
You are loved and appreciated by your students, your parents, and your East family!
Ashley and I feel very blessed to serve our students and families with all of you. We pray you have the happiest of Thanksgivings and that you know how very grateful we are for each one of you!
