Don’t expect kids not to be kids.
We teach them; we work with them; we have high expectations for them.
But we also have patience with them.
We can’t ever forget… they’re KIDS!
Lesson plans are important, and pedagogy matters… but some of the most important work of teachers, might not be captured by a plan.
When teachers encourage, support, inspire, care about, and connect with their students… they are engaged in work that transcends the “plan.”

The Spencer Co. community and soccer family lost one of our Senior leaders in a car accident late Friday night. Nathan was a young man that had passion, determination, love for his friends and teammates and always found a way to make everyone smile. Prayers are with his family.
