Growing Your Collection of Resources

In my years of teaching, I never paid much attention to the enormous amount of resources that I used. Every source available directed me to another possible source to help me and the families I serve. We must share these resources with our families. We have to make education and resources the passport to opportunities for our children.

Quotes:
Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom.
George Washington Carver

Tell me and I'll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I'll understand.
Native American Saying

The fruit of liberal education is not learning, but the capacity and desire to learn, not knowledge, but power.
Charles W. Eliot

All of us have to recognize that we owe our children more than we have been giving them.
Hillary Clinton
