You've gotta have
Art!
Profile
"I love to teach art
because you get to see the amazing creativity that
is in each child. I enjoy the lower school students
because their enthusiasm is boundless. I never have
to work at motivating them because they are raring
to go! That each student will realize that they
are artists and leave my classroom with a beginning
knowledge of art history."
