12 Days of Christmas

On the 9th day of Christmas I am thankful for teachers...

1. Blake Gould- who let me dream big right along side him

2. Charlotte Wolfe- who taught me how to choreograph and let me experiment on her students

3. Rich Messenger- first my teacher and then my co-worker- he always pushed me to do better

4.lRichard Hozaphel- no one had a better seminary teacher than I did, not only did he teach us history and help us develop strong testimonies, he did it all before 8 am each day with enthusiasm and love

5. Laura Harrison- currently teaching Amber voice lessons and helping at IHS, a mentor, friend and cheerleader for Amber (and me)

6. Chris McNatt- he taught Marin to LOVE school- creative, fun and caring

7. Tracy Garner- nurtured Marin and Ben through 1st grade and taught them how to read- she is amazing and can get an entire room of 1st graders to pay attention without ever raising her voice even a little

8. Rebekah Scott- loved Amber and let her voice soar, works Justin hard and treats him like an adult, and is a joy to work with when I do choreography with her

9. Mr. Fier- taught me chemistry, how to do your best and looked out for me not just in his class

10. Mr. Borgesen- taught me 5th grade- was the most fun ever and even took a group of us to Washington DC- awesome year

11. Robert Marshall- one of my professors in London, he opened my eyes to art, architecture and savoring each adventure

12. Todd Norris- Justin LOVED 5th grade

I could name many more....maybe another day!
