Hometown Hero

I was given the opportunity to throw out the opening pitch for the Burlington Royal's for their opening game, which also Alamance-Burlington family night. We held a T-Shirt Fundraiser for Hemophilia of North Carolina Chapter, raising $500.

Planting Seeds

Planting seeds in the life of students will create growth. My students planted a tree on the lawn of my school in my honor.   Each student made sure the roots were covered and the tree was propped up correctly.   Of course it became a teachable moment.
I told the students that is how lesson plans are made - with each of them in mind. The goal is for them to get the needed foundation to be supported. When they master the content, growth will occur.  Special thanks to the Literacy Group known as “The Boys” and to Alamance Community College horticulture Department.
