Well, it is back to school season again! This is Kevin’s second year of teaching and it is already way easier than last year. However, it is still special to have different kids each year. I figured amidst my posts on back to school clothes and routines, I would share 12 verses for teachers! I hope that these encourage you as a parent or teacher in this busy back to school season.
