Above and Beyond

"Whom shall he teach knowledge?  And whom shall he make to understand doctrine?  For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, and there a little." Isaiah 28:9-10

True teachers have a calling to teach, and they have God-given gifts which give them the grace to sacrifice...from their lives for their students.

Anita designed this cross with the inscription on the back "Above and Beyond the Call of Duty," to honor all those teachers whose work goes beyond an eight hour workday.  The front of the cross is made to look like children's old building blocks.  The blocks are symbolic of the lessons that are taught; one lesson lays a foundation, upon which many more lessons are added.  Not only are lessons of knowledge taught, but lessons which also build moral character within the students.

This cross made to look like building blocks is a symbol of teaching that builds knowledge and character within student's lives, block upon block, and precept upon precept.
