One of my favorite days is celebrating crazy hair day after reading this book. I look forward to seeing my kiddos creativity. (It was also mismatch day for the PTA.) @VirginiaCrossEl

This is why I work at the PTA Thrift Shop during the year. We earn money for our school to buy supplies and have special events like this for first grade kiddos.
Priceless smiles! @VirginiaCrossEl

Making reading fun by bringing our book from this week to life. Crazy Hair Day in first grade! @VirginiaCrossEl

Thank you @MakeAWishEastNC for an amazing Trailblaze Challenge! I couldn’t have completed it without all the wonderful volunteers!! Every step was worth it knowing I’m helping raise money for wishes to be granted for critically ill children! 💙

Thank you to the Chatham Education Foundation for providing 5 new books for every student at VCE to read over the summer. My students were thrilled to have new books to read! ♥️ @VirginiaCrossEl

What a beautiful weekend to celebrate our 🌎! Hiking gives me some much needed “me time”. #CelebrateTrails #GreatTrailState

[Heidi Gaines @hsgaines]

Enjoying the beautiful spring days by working on our Fundations and math skills outside. Tutoring these two students after school is so much fun! @VirginiaCrossEl

[Heidi Gaines @hsgaines]

Our first grade zoo field trip was so much fun! Their excitement at each exhibit was something I’ve missed over the last few years with no field trips. Real life experiences are the best! ♥️ @VirginiaCrossEl

[Heidi Gaines @hsgaines]

It was my pleasure to pass the VCE “Be The One” Award on to this amazing educator. Brandy Dark does so much for our school community. We definitely have some of the best staff in Chatham. @VirginiaCrossEl

[Heidi Gaines @hsgaines]

These two boys are amazing. They ask me every day if it’s a day they get to stay after school to work with me. ♥️ They give 100% every tutoring session. @VirginiaCrossEl
