EDM was a spiral program where many skills were introduced, but not expected to be mastered until later. • As of right now, students are placed into flexible grouping based on many factors. • If you want more information meet in the cafeteria at 7:30 or attend the Sept. 9 PTA meeting.

  23. I Am a Teacher I am a counselor and psychologist to a worried child,I am a police officer that controls a child gone wild.I am a travel agent scheduling our trips for the year,I am a confidante that wipes a crying child's tear.I am a banker collecting money for a ton of different things,I am a librarian showing adventures that a storybook brings.I am a custodian that has to clean certain little messes,I am a psychic that learns to know all that everybody only guesses.I am a doctor that detects when a child is feeling sick,I am a politician that must know the laws and recognize a trick.I am a party planner for holidays to celebrate with all,I am a decorator of a room, filling every wall.I am a news reporter updating on our nation's current events,I am a detective solving small mysteries and ending all suspense.I am a clown and comedian that makes the children laugh,I am a dietician assuring they all have lunch or from mine I give them half.When we seem to stray from values, I become a preacher,But I'm proud to have to be these people because ...I'm proud to say, "I am a teacher." by Stacy Bonino
