Roberts Middle School
Grit: Volume 29
Dear Roberts,
This is a school that believes every student is worth our time and effort. We have to change the mindsets of our students if they have already drifted into a realm of doubt! If we don’t believe in our students, do you think they will believe in themselves? This reminds me of the brand Harley Davidson. This motorcycle company changed disrespected outsiders into revered insiders. How did they do it? Harley Davidson gave a group of people who were labeled as outlaws and misfits the opportunity to be part of an exclusive biker club. This is what I call a transformation. It is a different way to think!
Roberts, we have to make change happen in the mindsets of our students. We are giving the opportunity for many students who are labeled as college outsiders a chance to be college ready. You are uniquely placed in your students' lives for a reason at this pivotal time. Our journey as teachers is hard, and at times thankless, but please know that you might be the only change agent in the trajectory of a kid’s life. We must pursue our students who are disenfranchised, broken, and lack the willingness to believe in themselves with all our hearts, might, and strength.
Roberts, when change happens, it is priceless. When I walked into your classrooms this past week, I was overwhelmed with a grateful heart. Please know each of you add value into my life. What you do for our kids, I cannot thank you enough. I believe in you! Thank you for believing in our students.
This Friday, my team and I will be treating you to breakfast. Chef Maribel will be cooking homemade omelets. Yes, another way for us to show you that you are loved. Also, go ahead and invest in Houston Rockets Shirts. I predict that we will be going far into the playoffs, which is a win win for the city and us!
