Grateful is a word less used these days. Many times we can get caught up in what we deserve or have earned. It is easy to take for granted the people around us and how much they mean in our lives. We fail to consider all that has been done for us and with us along the way. I start this 2016-2017 school year very excited about my new adventure being half time at Ballantyne Elementary and at Elizabeth Lane Elementary. As I reflect on my previous 18 years, I am so grateful to the students, parents and staff that shared their energy, talents and love. Many memories have been created and lessons learned. I can't even begin to count the pictures I have taken and printed through those years. With all the challenges and tough days, today I focus on being thankful for friendships, hugs, pictures drawn for me by students and thank you notes! I cherish memories of field days, field trips, clubs, speakers, grants won and the crazy notions that took shape into projects for the benefit of students and staff. Today and in the future, I plan to focus on the good, seek the potential in others, assume positive intent, and be the leader in my classroom that students want to come see and enjoy the moments of fun we make together. Blessings to my Sterling family!
