The Mark's

This is one of my favorite pictures, mostly because I adore Karen. Karen's son Thomas graduates this year and I was honored to take some grad and family photo's for them. Karen is a grade 2 teacher and last year taught my daughter Lauryn. She is a phenomenal teacher!!!! Lauryn loved being in her classroom and told me she wants to be a grade 2 teacher at WES when she grows up. Watchout Mrs. Mark, I think she's gunnin for your job. lol. Seriously, it says volumes when a child wants to emulate someone, especially my Lauryn who is not easily impressed. What I think children love about her is her great sense of humour, and the gentle caring way she has with their hearts!! She's so smart at reading kids and then figuring out the exact right approach that works with each one. I'm so grateful for teachers like Karen, who are helping to shape my children into the great adults I hope they become one day.
