Raptor News
Otho E. Stuart Middle School
Welcome to the 20-21 School Year!
Purpose...this is the word that continues to guide each of our actions. Our purpose is never clear until we see our students walk through our doors for the first time after not having seen them for so long. This year has been particularly special. As our students arrived, I felt the excitement and the cheers running through our hallways. Our staff could not contain themselves. Our Raptors arrived...smiling through their eyes...wondering what this year is going to be like. Adults doing everything they could to welcome our Raptors in the best possible way; trying extra hard to smile and cheer them on to make sure they have no doubt that they matter...that they are cared for. How we interact with our Raptors has changed...how we go about teaching and learning has changed..how we feel about why we do what we do (our purpose) has not changed a bit. We are still here ready to welcome our Raptors to the 20-21 school year. Through the masks...through the restrictions...through the challenges...through the distance...here we are ready to provide them structure, support, stability, expectations, learning, relationship, love, values. Here we are ready to give them hope.
Thank you for allowing us the privilege of educating your children. I assure you that we are giving it all to make sure we return them back to you every day safe and sound.
Together, we will continue to RISE!
