Smile. Sparkle. Shine.
My motto, "Smile, Sparkle, Shine" is said to you everyday to remind you to look at the positives in life and always give your all. I tell you this everyday in order to inspire you to smile each day, show off your individual and unique sparkle, and to never be afraid to shine!
Last year, I added to my motto:
Smile. Sparkle. Shine. Don't Do Drugs, and Wear Your Seatbelt!
I added the second part as a reminder to each any everyone of you to stay safe. I hope my words will reach you and keep you happy, shining bright, and safe from harm.
Smile. Sparkle. Shine.

As a teacher, I try to add excitement, enthusiasm, and fun to your overall high school experience; there is more to high school than books and schoolwork. In todays's world, teens sometimes have trouble finding ways to naturally get high and we are going to change that! This year I want to inspire you to get high on life not drugs or alcohol.
