Educational Soul Support

As one progresses through the halls of education, lessons are learned, impacting one’s mind, body and soul. Education is found within. It is found within the eyes of a newborn baby seeing the world for the first time. It is found within the hand that holds another. It is found within the embrace between strangers who quickly become friends. Most of all, as a result of one’s formative school years, one’s soul is greatly impacted by influential teachers. In turn, a teacher’s soul is touched by students who walk through hallways, enter classrooms and participate as athletes, volunteers and club members. Educators are not only teachers of a subject, but called upon daily to act as secondary parents, coaches, nurses and endless support systems.

Join us through the unique journey secondary teachers and students share from the first day of 7th grade to graduation. This “book” of Educational Soul Support acts like a real notebook. Take a peek… open its covers… (right and left sides) and explore the journey. Closest to the heart, (inside the bra) you will find what truly touches the soul. Reflect and remember those who lifted your soul, teaching that you had incredible inner strength. It is this soul that perseveres through the complexities of life, rejoices in simplicity and faithfully stands by each being. One is forever a student, learning to remain determined and focused as life (the teacher) continues to challenge.

Enjoy our journey as teachers as we help our students on their journey to success.
