What motivates you to get up and come to work?  Most importantly, the students! I also truly love this community and all those I work with. I feel blessed to come work at POP everyday. Not everyday is easy or "fun" but it is always rewarding and I leave everyday wanting to return the next day.

To what do you look forward every morning?  Seeing our students in the hall. I love morning carpool because I like to welcome the students to school and love seeing the energy they have (okay, usually the younger students) when they get out of the car.

What do you enjoy about our community?  I love this community because it is supportive. I have always felt supported by my coworkers and my supervisors. The parents support teachers and are truly appreciative of the work that teachers do everyday. I really enjoy the moments when we can socialize with parents at events and get to know a family better. As a said earlier, POP is a large family.
