3K teacher Mrs. Sandy Shapiro sshapiro@allsaintsberlin.org
Working in education is a rewarding and fulfilling experience in so many ways. Every day brings new excitement for all the things our little ones bring to school to share and all the things we get to watch them learn and grow into. As educators, we can strive to provide academic and spiritual goodness for the children that are the future of this world. The innocence, energy, love and eagerness they bring to our classroom and knowing 3k provides them with their first experience in beginning their formal education is very meaningful. Thankfully getting to know the children and their families continues in the years after they move on to the next grade.

Why do I like working in Education?
I like working in education because of the direct and lasting impact teachers have on students’ lives. Every day, I have the opportunity to connect with students on a personal level and help them grow into the young person they strive to be.

I love that educators have the ability not only to shape the academic outcome of their students, but also to shape their confidence and character.
What do you like about All Saints?
I am very excited to be returning to a Catholic-based education. I stepped away this year to a public school, and I found myself missing the morals and values shaped into students in a Catholic school.
