My Hope!!

An experience in 2009 that gave me hope for the future of American education is the dedication I see in my daughter's 2nd grade teacher. After a snow storm that dropped 2 feet of snow, our school closed early for the holiday break. The children did not have their parents' Christmas gifts that they worked so hard on and their teacher made a special trip to retrieve the gifts and then delivered them to each and every students' home so that they could give their parents a gift on Christmas morning. I was so touched by this act because Mrs. Policastro went over and above the call of duty. She cares so much for her students and I know that makes the children feel loved and secure, which in turns make for a great classroom environment. I am so happy my daughter is in her class and we are lucky to have such a dedicated teacher.
