A Message From the Director
This is it! The time that we have been waiting for is upon us! The first day of school is Tuesday. We will welcome scholars and parents with open arms beginning Monday evening and my hope is that, the excitement from the Back to School Night carries over to the first day of school!
As this day is upon us, I want you to take a moment to reflect. Ask yourself, "why am I here?" Are you here to push and propel the future leaders of this country to new heights? Are you here to increase the cognitive awareness of the scholars who grace us with their presence each day? Are you here to give and be the best version of yourself? Are you here to add value to the collective efforts of our staff? Ask yourself, "why am I here?"
Be honest, write it down, and review it at the end of the year to see if you've accomplished what you set out to achieve.
Go and Be GREAT Dream Team! The future is in our hands.
The DreamTeam Will Fight!
Sincerely,
Andrea
