“It only takes one compliment, or maybe two, to carry you through a lifetime.”⠀
⠀
Carrying this inspirational quote with me from this year’s Teacher of the Year as another school year wraps up. Grateful to have been honored by the Illinois State Board of Education this year and to work with so many wonderful students, families, colleagues, and administrators in such a special school community. Happy Summer! ☀️
