Superintendent Message
Thankfulness and Gratitude
I have always thought it was appropriate that we celebrate Veterans Day and then a few weeks later we celebrate Thanksgiving, two holidays that are significant to our country and unique to America. Sacrifice and appreciation can be used to describe both holidays.
This year my appreciation “list” would include family, friends, colleagues, and health, but I would also include things I take for granted and amazing memories. For example, I take for granted every day that I can walk, that my brain can process complex situations, that I can choose what I am going to eat today, and that I can talk and express myself. For all those “take for granted” things, I am tremendously grateful.
As I drove home from work last night, I smiled as I pulled in front of the garage and got out of the truck. It was dark, cold, and quiet. I smiled because the stars were shining brightly and a favorite childhood memory surfaced. The memory of my dad trying to show my older brother and me the different constellations in the sky. For that, I am grateful.
Oh, and the memory of Mrs. Lang teaching me how to tie my ribbon in my hair in the third grade. It took a lot of practice and patience. She was such a wonderful teacher. For all the Mrs. Langs I have encountered in my life, I am grateful.
Family, friends, and colleagues have given me amazing relationships. Some have lasted a true lifetime; others have happened through the years. People and interactions have kept me grounded, taught me life lessons, and balanced my life. For that I am grateful.
As we approach Thanksgiving, I sincerely wish you a wonderful break, a time to relax, enjoy family, count blessings, share a wonderful meal with family & friends, and reflect on memories in your life that are the most important to you.
