It's the positive atmosphere, great teachers, and wonderful students that have kept her at St. Lawrence all these years. It is an awesome place to teach because of all the support that you get from the other staff members, supportive parents, and the students who are excited about learning that makes it easy to come to school every day! It is a mission, not a job!
