Linda L. Pond Math/Science/Gifted Education Great Neck Middle School 5 years of service to VBCPS (17 1/2 years total) It may sound clichéd but I am passionate about being an educator and honor this most significant profession. In what other career can one remain a "professional" student, continually learning in an ever-evolving field? Teachers are significant. Educators promote, facilitate, and generate enthusiastic life-long learners who are the leaders, inventors, and passionate citizens of our future world.
