Classroom teachers are like the Statue of Liberty….

“Give me your gifted, your SEL,

your ADHD or whatever your needs shall be,

You all are entrusted to me to educate and care for...

Send these, the scholars, that are rostered to me,

I lift my lamp at the classroom door and I will teach you all!”
