Charleston trip

Thanks to Kristin and her dad, ten teachers and Mrs. DeVito met for two hours with Raamie Barker, senior advisor to Governor Tomblin today. When it comes to education, this man gets it.
Loosely quoted, he said

• We don't teach subjects, we teach students.
  
• Teaching is a calling, like the ministry.
  
• We don't teach students how to make a living, we teach them how to live.
  
  
• A teacher of the year is sitting in this room.

A successful road trip indeed. We look forward to hosting Mr. Barker, Governor Tomblin, Michele Blatt and others soon.
