Description
xIn 1966, the doors suddenly flew open from one of the largest elementary and middle schools in all of New England, and 37 years of classic memories burst forth. Can you imagine so many moments frozen in time! From that chaotic first day filled with anticipation and joy, to the tranquility of retirement filled with emotion and questionable decisions... the reader will thoroughly enjoy each and every adventure.
You will laugh at stories of the birthday girl, children trading color cards, one student swallowing live night crawlers, one eating as many bananas as is humanly possible, a student poem beginning with, "Under the spreading chestnut tree", a special teacher disguise, and the green hot dogs. Then, you will enjoy the indelible ink of a printing press completely ruining a brand new trench coat, lunch and recess capers, a teacher-student wrestling match, and the saga of Frick and Frack, featuring an overturned boat. How informative! You will read about open and closed classrooms, teachers reacting with administrators and parents, mixed ability groups, and grouping by ability. What an emotional rollercoaster when you are presented with lessons in tragedy, the wall of fame, the man with the magnetic smile, and the final years leading to retirement.
How interesting! Clever chapter titles include, "Not the Dummy Group Again", "Them's Fighting Words, Abe", The Walls Come Tumbling Down", "Distractions You Say!" "The Big Bad Bully", "Classic Teacher Moments", "Black Ice", and "Dare We Try Again". The creative titles definitely encourage focused reading and the idea of not wanting to " put the book down". This book is both informative and amusing, and is written in tribute to educators, parents, and children everywhere. The events are exactly as they happened. Only the names have been changed. To put it as simply as possible, it is merely one teacher's perspective on special memories over a long and glorious career. After reading, you will easily understand why each and every moment will live in his heart forever.

By Stephen L. Clark
xStephen L. Clark was born in Augusta, Maine, on June 20, 1944, but spent time there for only one day. He grew up and attended school in the small Central Vermont city of Barre. Later, he moved to East Montpelier, Vermont, and now resides there with his lovely wife, mother-in-law, and youngest son.
Stephen devoted 37 years of his life to teaching, and loved working with children and experiencing the very magical moments that occurred over the course of time. He received the prestigious award of Who's Who in American Teachers multiple times. This was especially precious to him as he was nominated by his own students. "Stephen Clark" has been etched on a beautiful granite plaque for his many dedicated years of teaching service. His name, along with the names of so many friends and fellow educators is on display above the trophy cases in the beautiful lobby of Barre Town School. He respectfully refers to this distinctive tribute as "The Wall of Fame." Stephen has always enjoyed writing and has had many poems published in anthologies. He was encouraged by his wife, friends, and colleagues to try something new... to write a book depicting the numerous wonderful moments during a long and rewarding career. The result is this book, MEMORABLE MOMENTS FROZEN IN TIME. Stephen's special, often hilarious moments will be enjoyed everywhere by teachers, students, parents, and anyone who has been given the special gift from God to work with children.
