Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceAfter 19 years I have plenty of stories, fun and sad, however my most recent memorable moment happened this year. My school is celebrating its Centennial and we are doing so many things to celebrate. In September the whole school wore our school colors and we had a birthday party with our mascot and community members. After the party, we made a huge 100 on the blacktop with the students and staff. To see the pure excitement in everyone’s eyes was amazing and they are still talking about it.
