Vaughan Teacher Recognized
As Club's Teacher Of Month
Mrs. Virginia P. Faulkner,
a veteran teacher and a
Warren County native, was
recently chosen Teacher of
the Month at the Vaughan
Elementary School in
Vaughan.
She was selected by a
committee of teachers at the
school.
Mrs. Faulkner, who lives
in Macon, teaches math,
science and social studies to
the seventh grade.
Her philosophy is that
teachers should possess
certain characteristics
which are required for
effective teaching. These
characteristics should include
love, a sense of
humor, a sense of fair play
and the ability to mold
values and Christian principles,
she observes.
"I try to love the children
I teach and try to earn their
respect with kindness,
rather than demand it with
authority," she says. "I like
to think that I am being
influential in molding
character that will blossom
into happy, well-adjusted
citizens capable of making
contributions to society."
Mrs. Faulkner says that,
although she laughs with her
children, at the same time
she " is aware of the
admonition of Ecclesiastes 3
which says, "To everything
there is a season, and a time
every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a
time to die... A time to weep
and a time to laugh...A time
to mourn and a time to

they can get their hands on,
and not only to read, but to
understand everything they
read.
