VIP Recognition

I just wanted to post quickly to give a few thanks for my VIP award on Thursday. First of all, I would like to thank my colleagues. Las Colinas is a wonderful school filled with wonderful people to work with. In just 3 short years at LCE, I feel like I have gained some life long friendships. I love the community of learners that we have built together at LCE. It is exciting to see us growing together as educators.

Secondly, I'd like to thank my awesome room mothers and my class for the beautiful flowers and gift card. I am truly blessed to have such wonderful students and parents this year. I am enjoying working with each one of the students and will truly miss them at year's end. It is so exciting to watch them grow as learners as they progress through this phase.

Finally, I'd like to thank my parents who drove all the way from East Texas to Carrollton to be there at the school board meeting while I received my award. It was such a surprise but one I was most thankful for. I could not ask for better parents. They have made me who I am today and I am most thankful. Love you Mom and Dad!!

Yea, so this kind of sounded like an acceptance speech at an awards show but I felt led to give thanks. I am truly blessed and most appreciative of each and every person that daily affects my life. I know that because of you, I am a better teacher and more importantly, a better person.
