Our Mission

Leadership Food for Thought
Good morning everyone,
Wow! Where has the time gone? It just doesn't seem like this semester should be coming to a close this quickly. Four months down and five more months to go. But who's counting when there's still a lot of work to accomplish? :-)
Every week that I send you this newsletter, I try to include an inspirational message. I find joy in reading words that are uplifting and have an impact on my daily actions. This week's message are words from Magic Johnson. He said, "All kids need a little help, a little hope, and someone who believes in them. Do not underestimate the impact you can have on a child. Every word-good or bad-spoken to a child is amplified and stays with them for years. The potential that each kid possesses is immense. With the right environment, he or she can be and do anything. Encourage every child you meet." (Source: A Year Wiser: 365 Days of Inspiration to Create A Phenomenal Year, Anderson 2011)
Have a great week of LEADING and LEARNING and remember....You are REMARKABLE!
Yours in learning,
Tammy
