To Our Favorite Teacher

Tuesday (May 6th) is National Teachers Day.
We have someone very very special we want to honor today.
Mary Herl is one of 5 kindergarten teachers here in our local elementary school. She is without a doubt, the best EVER kindergarten teacher. The love she has for her students just emanates from her. She is incredibly in tune with each student and has such a gift for bringing out the best in them. It is understandable then to see why the kids adore her. She is so easy to work with and having a parent/teacher relationship with her has been a joy. She has been a blessing to our family over the last 3 years that we've known her and we've already told her that she cannot retire for 3 more years - until Alyssa finishes kindergarten. Mrs. Herl is a wonderful example of grace, kindness and godliness. She is an example in all ways of the Proverbs 31 woman. And "her children....." - the hundreds of them who have been in her care - do rise up and call her blessed!!! Thank you Mrs. Herl for all you are and all you've done for our family. We love you!!
