D EAR M RS . A LPER , “WHAT SCULPTING IS TO A BLOCK OF MARBLE,

EDUCATION IS TO A HUMAN SOUL" ( JOSEPH ADDISON ) As a master artist, you quite literally help sculpt bright futures. You etch : animals, landforms and more to make them come alive for your students... You color : vivid bulletin boards and posters to make your classroom exciting... You cut : intricate costumes for plays and materials for projects that your students adore... You paste : students’ work on display so they can feel pride in their accomplishments... And your etching, coloring, cutting and pasting culminate in the indelible designs you have left on hundreds of little hearts and minds. We are in complete awe of the manner in which you continuously give to your students with your unwavering persona of positivity.Your many years of selfless dedication to your students are a paradigm for us all.

With all our love and respect,
