Quote of the Week
If you build your team with love instead of fear they will become more and do more than you ever thought possible. Jon Gordon
We have all had that student or even students that exceeded our wildest dreams. More than likely that student succeeding had much to do with the relationship you had with them above all else. This is the perfect example of building your team with love instead of fear. Your students are lucky to have teachers that believe in them and want the best for them! All students can make progress when given a chance and Irvin teachers are the best about living this.
I am thankful for all of you and everything you do! Have a safe, restful weekend. Stay warm.
