I wanted to share with the youth of our nation wholesome education and character building.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience happened this year being placed in a 2nd / 3rd grade classroom after being a high school teacher for the majority of my career. I was humbled and now realize it’s not the “high” content that counts, it’s the foundation al knowledge instilled in our younger grades that means the most. I teach until sweat runs down my back and am seeing the benefits of shared knowledge with these young students

What would you do with the $25,000?

Roll it over to my classroom and school; with our current budget being dismal, it would be a much needed resource for all of my staff for classroom supplies and furniture.
