The News Reporter, Monday, April 25, 2016 – 3-A Teacher defines success as small efforts, repeated daily By SHALON SMITH Contributing Writer

When Lauren Nye was a high school teenager, she got a job as a day care teacher. She worked there the remainder of her high school years and it was there that her passion for teaching developed and grew. The “light in a child’s eye” as they learn something new led her to pursue teaching as a career. “The feeling one gets when watching learning take place and seeing a child grow academically, socially, and emo- tionally is indescribable,” she said.
