J. Thomas Stahl Fifth Grade Alanton Elementary School 22 years of service to VBCPS Teachers are God's hands, eyes, and smiles in His world. Each day we are given opportunities to make meaningful differences in our students' lives. What an amazing responsibility and privilege! This is my daily prayer: Dear Father, give me the strength, wisdom, humor, knowledge, love, creativity, and organization I'll need today. I can't do this job without you. Thank you, God, for calling me to be one of your teachers.
