"It takes a village to raise a child!"

I truly believe in this old adage in the sense that if we (you, the families and me, the teacher) work together as a team, your child can and will be successful. 

UNITY
I dreamed I stood in a studio
And watched two sculptors there.
The clay they used was a young child’s mind
And they fashioned it with care.
One was a teacher -- the tools she used
Were books, music, and art.
The other, a parent, worked with a guiding hand,
And a gentle, loving heart.
Day after day, the teacher toiled with touch
That was careful, deft, and sure,
While the parent labored by her side
And polished and smoothed it over.
And when at last, their task was done,
They were proud of what they had wrought.
For the things they had molded into the child
Could neither be sold nor bought.
And each agreed they would have failed
If each had worked alone.
For behind the parent stood the school,
And behind the teacher, the home.
