P is for Pirate
L IS FOR LION
Teachers must ROAR to have their voices heard to challenge the status quo and mediocrity. They must be leaders, unafraid to stand out from the crowd, to take the path less traveled, and to be innovators. Teachers are the voice of education and must be uncompromising champions of all students. Roar for all to hear!
