Mrs. Miller

I wanted to take some time today to write about Mrs. Miller, one of our 1st grade teachers at Trinity.  Most of you know that Mrs. Miller is expecting her first child, Little Lucy, sometime in April.  Mrs. Miller and her husband Chad are going to make amazing parents.  I'm so excited for Elizabeth and know that she has exciting days ahead of her. 

This is Mrs. Miller's 3rd year here at Trinity and we are so blessed that she chose to come teach here.  Elizabeth is a creative, organized, planful and reflective teacher.  She has unique ideas and shares them with others.  She is willing to help out anywhere that she can, and truly gives of herself.  Elizabeth loves her students and works hard to make sure she is meeting thier needs.  She is also one of the most patient people I know.  She is currently my daughter Reese's teacher, and if you know Reese, then you can understand how much patience she must have! :)  From a mom's perspective, I can't go wrong with any teacher at Trinity, but Reese has just fallen in love with Mrs. Miller and it's easy to understand why.  Reese feels loved and accepted in her classroom, and I couldn't ask for more. 

As I said before, Elizabeth is due in a couple weeks.  She is one of those teachers who is lucky enough to have a spring baby and can enjoy the summer off with the baby as well.  Sometimes teachers in this situation find themselves feeling "done" at this point in their pregnancy and don't always give all of thier heart and soul to teaching.  I have to say that this is not true for Elizabeth.  She comes to school everyday with as much determination as the day before for getting the job done.  She worries about her students, and wants to make sure they will still do great after she's had the baby.  (Which they will--Becky Wever will be her sub!)  I am truly grateful for Elizabeth's determination and dedication to her job. 

Thank you Mrs. Miller for all you do for Trinity.  You are amazing and we love you!  We also can't wait to meet Lucy in a few weeks.  May God shower his blessings on you and your family!
