Mrs. Moyer's favorite quote
comes from Indiana Jones... "It's not the years, it's the mileage." To her this means that it doesn't
matter how old or how young you are; what matters is what you have done with your life. You should ask yourself, "Have I
made a difference in the life of someone else; have I made a difference in the world?" A quote from the Core Knowledge
curriculum she likes to use with her Kindergarteners is... From little acorns, big oaks grow.
Mrs. Moyer explains that any student in her kindergarten class can do something worthwhile and important with
their lives; any one of them can accomplish whatever they want through hard work and determination. She wants her students
to set their goals high, to be motivated and ....she sincerely believes they can accomplish anything!
