What are you thankful for?

I am the proud principal of Cedar Grove Elementary School. During the fast pace of our school year, it is so easy to take for granted the richness of our lives and the people who make that richness possible. This time of year nudges us to acknowledge those people whose influence makes our lives better. I consider myself fortunate to work at Cedar Grove Elementary School. My staff sets the standard for what talent, caring and dedication should be in the service of children. At Cedar Grove the saying is true, "Teaching is a profession where you lose sleep over other people's children." For that and so much more, I am profoundly grateful.
