Our Journey Begins
"Only passions, great passions, can elevate the soul to great things."
October brings the beginning of fall, cooler temperatures and beautiful trees, but it also ushers us into the part of the school year where the newness and excitement starts to fade away. How can we keep that excitement and passion about our work throughout the year? I would like to challenge you to teach like a pirate. Yep, teach like a pirate!
Pirates are daring, adventurous, and willing to set forth into uncharted territories with no guarantee of success. They reject the status quo and refuse to conform to any society that stifles creativity and independence. They are entrepreneurs who take risks and are willing to travel to the ends of the earth for that which they value. In these challenging and changing times, our students need leaders and teachers who are willing to venture forward without a clear map to explore new frontiers. We need pirates..... we need you! Welcome aboard!
