School Days

I attended Parent Teacher Conference this week. Both of my boys are doing so great and I could not be more proud. They are tremendous readers and their intellectual growth amazes me every day. I have to say that some of their ability may just come naturally, but it is due in a large part to outstanding teachers. We are so blessed to have had Shirlene Law as their preschool teacher at USU; she gave them a great head start and I will be forever grateful. Treysen had Crystal Riser last year, and Taidyn has her this year. She is one of the most amazing individuals I know. I can see how much she loves teaching and watching her classroom succeed, but even more than that I can see how much she loves every child she teaches. If all teachers had 25% the compassion, love and desire that she does, our schools would be a better place. A big THANK YOU to all of those teachers out there that truly care...what a difference they can make in this world.
