Have you ever walked the halls of our lovely school, passed a random adult that you don’t know, and wondered who the heck they are?  You probably think, “Whatever, she’s probably a librarian or something,” or “Must be a substitute.”  Teachers who teach English, math, or other required curriculums are the most well-known because, well, everyone has probably had them at least once in their academic career.  We are a small school, and I think it’s important to put a spotlight on educators who work just as hard as the rest of the staff but don’t teach a core subject.  I didn’t know who they were at first, but now I do.
