The Simple Truths of Appreciation

For those friends, neighbors, and TEACHERS that have made or make a difference in our lives, and our children's lives, this short little movie is for you. Thank you, Maria, for the difference you made in James' life in 1st grade - for CARING - I will always remember what you did for him, and for me as a Mom, with a child who was struggling and hurting with a move to Utah away from all of our family in Arizona, you touched my heart. You are a wonderful teacher and I want to THANK YOU! To Cheryl, who's had all three of my kids, all of them have LOVED having you as their 2nd grade teacher. You make a difference and they know you care about them. To Cherie and Tricia, both of you have been the best teachers that James and Kaylie could have ever had for 5th and 6th grade. You've both taught them, helped them, challenged them and cared about them! You've gone to their soccer games and piano recitals (and I have the pictures to prove it) and they WILL remember that years from now. It always makes me smile when I see my kids come up to you and give you hugs. How special is that! To Becky McKenzie, the best kindergarten teacher I've ever, ever had the pleasure to know. This world needs more teachers like you, and I miss you. My kids have been blessed by all of you. For your dedication to teaching, for caring, and for making a difference in their lives. Thank you for all of that. And, as an added bonus, I get to call each of you my friend. I'm blessed to have you in my life! (http://www.movieofappreciation.com/)
