Mrs. Dixie was always able to help her sister get her classroom ready for a new school year and enjoyed doing all the little things to make the first day of school fun. So when her kids got older she decided to go back to work, and the school seemed like the spot for her. Now that she works in a classroom she loves the kids. Her goal is for every student to have a reason to smile at least once a day. She believes that every student should feel loved and important. She says the best part of her job is seeing the AHA moments. Those are the moments when a student finally understands something they have been working hard on for a while and then AHA it all makes sense to them.
