She will motivate and encourage ALL STUDENTS to maintain an attitude of "NOT YET" in the presence of failures, "NOT YET" with uncooperative teachers, staff, and anyone else that may try to derail their success.

Although this is Mrs. Dill's first year at Smith M.S., she has decided to also be the cheerleading sponsor, because she loves cheer and has been coaching cheerleaders for over 30 years.
