Teaching Connections


Ahhhhh, the 225th day (8/13/15) of 2015 was the annual "who'd your kids get?" posting on Facebook as our community's school's parent portal went live with the student class assignments for 2015-2016. As my kids are in the 6th (one class this year in the school) and 8th (know who the Junior High teachers are) grades this year, I did not get as excited as many of my neighbors.  But I DID love watching their excitement as <kid #1> got <awesome teacher> for the 2nd grade and <kid #2> got <amazing teacher> for the 5th grade.  It made me smile and it made me think of the connections my kids have had with the great teachers of Oaklyn Public School.  This will be our 9th year in the school, 7th year with BOTH kids in the school and, honestly, we have never had a dud teacher.  Each teacher has assisted in the development of both of our kids and our kids have thrived under their care I know our school is small and does not always have the resources of the larger schools in the area, but the MAIN resource is a group of caring, amazing, hard-working teachers...and that what this school DEFINITELY has.  I love their connecting attitudes and I am glad that I and my kids are connected to them.
