Author Scott Hayden once wrote, “Teachers have three loves: love of learning, love of learners, and the love of bringing the first two loves together.”  The sentiment behind those words holds as true to me today as when I started my teaching career over 30 years ago. I have had the privilege of teaching children from early elementary through high school, each level possessing its own unique rewards and challenges. Learn more about Mrs. Kainer.
