“The parental support in our school community is most helpful to me. I serve them first in educating the children, and I appreciate the parents partnering with me to reach our educational goals for their students. At the fourth grade level, students have an amazing - sometimes overwhelming - amount of energy to be tapped and channeled into becoming learners individually and in groups. I love how well they exhibit wonder, in every sense of the word, about the world in and around them. They simply love to learn, and I simply love to teach!” Karen Genest
