For over fourteen years it has been my privilege to work with the children and parents of Frost
School.I strive to empower my students to become responsible, productive, and successful citizens
in our society through continuous learning opportunities, both in academics and life skills.
High expectations will be set for all of my students, helping them to realize their highest potential by
instilling positive beliefs in their abilities. My mission as a teacher is to always treat my students with
respect and dignity, regardless of the choices they are making.
"The Star Polisher"
~ Leah Becks ~
I have a great job in the universe of occupations.
What do I do?
I'm a "star polisher."
I have a very important job.
If you want to know how important,
just go out at night and look at the stars
twinkling and sparkling.
You see, I'm a teacher.
The stars are the children in my class.
My job is to take them in--
in whatever shape they come--
and shine and buff them and then send them out to take
their places as bright little twinkling beacons in the sky.
They come into my room in all shapes and sizes.
Sometimes they're bent, tarnished, dirty, crinkly and broken.
Some stars are cuddly, soft and sweet.
Some stars are prickly and thorny.
As I buff, polish, train and teach my little stars,
I tell them that the world cannot do without them.
I tell them they can do anything they set their minds to do.
I tell them they can be the brightest, shiniest stars in the sky
and the world will be a better place because of them.
Each night as I look at the sky, I'm reminded of my very
important job and awesome responsibility.
I go and get my soft buffing cloth and my bottle of polish in preparation
for tomorrow and for my class of little stars.
