be an opportunity to share what she had learned with others. 

A few words from Sarah:

“I have worked with children my entire life whether in a daycare setting, as a nanny, caregiver

and of course as a mother. I was thrilled to find a school like Roots existed so close to us and

that I got to be a part of something I truly believed in. As a mother I have loved Roots for my

children and the opportunity to be with like-minded families that share in the same goals and as

a teacher I feel blessed that I get to go to a job where I am serving my community and fulfilling

my purpose.”
