A Message From the Director
Thank you all for an amazing first week. I noticed that though the smell of the beach vacations have drifted away, the rejuventation has paid off and you all look incredibly ready to start the year strong!
I am positive, optismistic, and excited to see what the future holds for HP middle. It is my dream to make our campus the best campus in the network and with you all, I am more confident than I have ever been! The newness of some, and the tenure of others make each day better and brighter. My hope is that your outlook is very similar to mine; so that we can achieve great things together.
In this weeks video, I was quickly reminded of the work that we do. My hope is that as you read along with the video, you feel the same way too. I thought that it would be awesome to read about why the work that we do as educators is so important, and how the task that we have been assigned to accomplish is as grand as this world, yet we have all made the decision to accept the responsibility, or at least I have.
At the end of the video, the question asked was, are you willing to take risks and accept the challenge? I have the same question. Are you?
I dare for you to accept the challenge and make a difference. I dare for you to accept the challenge even though it is uncomfortable. I dare for you to accept the challenge and push the stereotypes of our community out of the window. I dare for you to accept the challenge and try your hardest EVERY single day.
The DreamTeam Will Fight!
Sincerely,
Andrea
