Above is a picture of my sweet little class this year. I only have 14 (Heaven!) and they are loving, vivacious, and precious, just to name a few. It is so awesome to spend the day with them learning all that we do, but especially to share with them how much that God loves them. While my class is great, I also work with the best team EVER! Our headmaster and principal are the 2 most loving, Christian leaders I have ever had the privilege of working with. The other first grade teachers make doing my job so easy and we have the BEST time. I think some of the other teachers could be a little jealous of how much fun the 3 of us have!! Speaking of the rest of the teachers and staff...they are AWESOME too! I've died and gone as close to Heaven as one can get.
I do still miss my teacher friends at MRA and especially the three sweet groups of children I had over the past 3 years and their parents. When I see them around town I am happy to see them, yet sad that I'm not there to see them as they grow and change each day, but I am certain that His hand is upon them and that they are loved and taken care of. It is my prayer that they will grow in their love for Christ and become the people He desires for them to be and always know that Mrs. Jasper thinks the world of each of them.
Being a teacher is a blessing and a gift that only a few have the privilege of knowing. Next to being a parent, I believe it is the best and most rewarding job on earth!
