A little Inspiration for you

As you all know, I am an active member of the JES PTO. We have been working hard at our fundraiser, Walk-a-thon, which took place last Saturday and was an overall success....plans to do the walk-a-thon are in the midst for next year. Next order of business for the JES PTO is celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week. We plan on using motivational/inspirational quotes to inspire the teachers. After doing research for these quotes I have found a few I would like to share to inspire my reader(s)...haha.
