The Rev. Tambria E. Lee

It is the time of the year when we thank those wonderful folks we call church school teachers. They spend time with our children every Sunday, teaching them what it means to fulfill the baptismal promises of being willing to "continue in the apostles' teaching and fellowship in the breaking of the bread and in the prayers." The communion of Saints listed below tells you what they do each week in their own unique ways. We thank you and we hope those in the community will thank you, too.

The secret of education is respecting the pupil.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every child comes with the message that God is not yet tired of the [human].
-- Rabindranth Tagore, Indian poet

They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.
-- Carl W. Buechner

A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.
-- Henry Brooks Adams

Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
-- James Baldwin

Essential to the teaching role is the work of creating possibilities, of handing on the belief that we have within us the capacity to alter our existence.
-- Maria Harris
