Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

Lysa Lytikainen was born to be a kindergarten teacher. Her enthusiasm and excitement for teaching young children is unparalleled! The students in her classroom learn through singing, dancing, and acting out stories. They acquire habits of virtue as well as master the day’s lesson objectives. Love and respect are the order of the day in Mrs. Lytikainen’s classroom. Mrs. Lytikainen models this for her students with her patient and empathetic attitude. She listens carefully to her students as they explain what is going on in their heart and mind, and then she guides them in righteousness with outstretched arms and a kind, loving smile. When Mrs. Lytikainen sends her students on to first grade, they know how to be a contributing member of a group as well as how to be a diligent student. We are so very thankful for Mrs. Lysa Lytikainen!

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

Mrs. Lytikainen attracts her students attention like a cat to a laser beam. Her students fully participate in her lessons and are kind and respectful!
