Robyn & Emily

                   Robyn Drew, age 59                                               Emily Cary, age 40

I often wish I could be a part of the classrooms that belong to Mrs. Drew and Mrs. Cary.  Love of students   plus   Love of subjects   equals    Learning

Point of Connection:  Robyn and Emily met when they both took 4th grade positions at a Nashville elementary school.  Their bond solidified when Emily’s father and father-in-law both passed away in a short span of time.

Same:  their devotion to students and learning make them an effective duo in the classroom.

Different:  age, skin color, mothers of differing age children.  Robyn will tell you Emily is the organized, detail-oriented part of this yin-yang that keeps her big-picture self together.

Finding value in each other:  Emily values and draws on Robyn’s wisdom while Robyn counts on Emily’s youthful spirit to brighten the hard moments.

Finding laughter:  you can decide which one is sarcastic and which one has the dry sense of humor.  But I’m going to point-blank tell you it was Emily who turned Robyn on to hip-hop music.

Stronger BECAUSE of our differences.

Together,

Mary
