    :::::::::::::::::::A Teacher for All Seasons::::::::::::::
    A teacher is like Spring,
    Who nurtures new green sprouts,
    Encourages and leads them,
    Whenever they have doubts.
    A teacher is like Summer,
    Whose sunny temperament
    Makes studying a pleasure,
    Preventing discontent.
    A teacher is like Fall,
    With methods crisp and clear,
    Lessons of bright colors
    And a happy atmosphere.
    A teacher is like Winter,
    While it’s snowing hard outside,
    Keeping students comfortable,
    As a warm and helpful guide.
    Teacher, you do all these things,
    With a pleasant attitude;
    You’re a teacher for all seasons,
    And you have my gratitude!

    Why God Made Teachers.............................
    By Kevin William Huff............................

    When God created teachers,
    He gave us special friends
    To help us understand His world
    And truly comprehend
    The beauty and the wonder
    Of everything we see,
    And become a better person
    With each discovery.

    When God created teachers,
    He gave us special guides
    To show us ways in which to grow
    So we can all decide
    How to live and how to do
    What's right instead of wrong,
    To lead us so that we can lead
    And learn how to be strong.

    Why God created teachers,
    In His wisdom and His grace,
    Was to help us learn to make our world
    A better, wiser place.

    GOD MADE TEACHERS . . .
    Author Unknown...................................................................

    God understood our thirst for
    knowledge, and our need to be led
    by someone wiser;
    He needed a heart of compassion,
    of encouragement, and patience;
    Someone who would accept
    the challenge regardless of the
    opposition;
    Someone who could see potential
    and believe in the best in others . . .
    So He made Teachers

    Teachers
    Paint their minds
    And guide their thoughts
    Share their achievements
    and advise their faults

    Inspire a Love
    Of knowledge and truth
    As you light the path
    Which leads our youth

    For our future brightens
    With each lesson you teach
    Each smile you lengthen
    Each goal you help reach

    For the dawn of each poet
    Each philosopher and king
    Begins with a Teacher
    And the wisdom they bring.

    Glad to see things are getting back on track at VT. I prayed for all those in Blacksburg and surrounding area because we all have had such a wonderful sense of security there. Hope things are well in SC. Last time I was there I was in Charleston visiting historical landmarks. Really enjoyed staying at Kiawah Island. The beach was nice though it was too cold to swim. Thanks for being friends here on The Apple. I miss the east coast terribly!
