The heart of the school
A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.
-Mahatma Gandhi
For the purposes of this week's quote, I will substitute the word school for nation. So, then the question becomes what is in the hearts of our people? This is not limited to administrators, teachers, or staff. This also encompasses our students. Some research says that elementary students begin to emulate their teachers and their behaviors after two days. High school students, believe it or not, do the same thing! It just takes them about two weeks longer. Based on that, one could theorize that what is in our hearts is in the hearts of those we serve...eventually.
What do we want them to emulate? We are almost a month into school and here is what I see: our hearts are full of high expectations coupled with empathy; our hearts are full of exuberance for our careers and hope for our students; and lastly our hearts are full of pride and possibility for Pinedale High School...these things are contagious...I witnessed this contagion just this morning when I walked out in the hall heard our fight song coming from different rooms up and down the hallway during advisory. For that, I thank you!
