You’re appreciated

Perhaps we don’t appreciate them enough. 

Be good to your teachers, this week and always!

 

Serve with love

I don't recall having crushes on any of my Primary teachers. Elementary teachers, yes, but Primary teachers not so much. Maybe that's because we were usually in trouble!
 

Forced perspective

It's Teacher Appreciation Week. I certainly appreciate the teachers I know! Thank you!

Light the World: Thank a teacher

I had so many wonderful teachers growing up — both at church and at school — that's it's hard to narrow down the list of those who inspired me the most.

In elementary school, there was Miss Speck, Miss Lund and Miss Jarvis (she wore hot pants) who stand out as examples of amazing teachers. In middle school there were Mr. Fernley, Mme Chapman, Mrs. Sorenson and Mr. Chatterton who stood out (among many). In high school it was Mr. Lee, Mrs. Thayne, Ma Baskin, Miss Woodward, Coach Bennion and Mrs. Springer.

When I think of teachers and advisors in church, there are so many! Sis. Windley in Cub Scouts and Primary, Bro. Leishman, Bro. Jeppson, Bishop Kehl, Bishop Mills and Pres. Bangerter, just to name a few.

My favorite teachers, of course, were Mr. and Mrs. Beckstrom, and my current French teacher, Mme Beckstrom — she is amazing!

A huge shout out to all my teachers! They all gave so much of themselves and encouraged me along the way. Bless you all!

Parent Teacher Conferences

Some teachers have this same experience without the zombies!

Support your mother

It's not a Mother's Day cartoon (although I have many of those), but I think this shows the importance of loving and supporting one another through all of our trials. Just like a mom would do.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms — and to anyone who had a mom. You're awesome!

The last day of classes

I'm taking a little time off, so this week we'll be running a few of my favorites from years past. Enjoy!

We had a bunch of snow days this school year, so that means they got added on to the end. Almost done!

Versatility

It takes a special skill to work pop culture references into a spiritual discussion.

Called to not serve

That's the worst, trying to get a substitute when you're supposed to be the substitute!

Teachers who made a difference

Those really are some of my former teachers. And yes, Miss Jarvis really did wear hot pants to school.

And they're off!

Today is the last day of school in our district. And I know, I know... I left quite a few things off the teacher's summer to-do list — I only have so much room for the caption!

Here's to all the teachers who do so much for each of our kids! You're amazing!

In a related note, if you haven't signed up for French Camp yet, there are openings still available!
