A Message From the Director
Hello Dream Team,
The Leader in You: A Poem
By Naphtali Hoff
You took a job at the local school
To teach those in your care;
You did not sign up to lead another
For that you would not dare.
Me? Lead? That’s not my thing
I’m just here to teach;
But don’t you see that difference making
Is well within your reach?
These little eyes are watching you
They catch your every act;
You model more than you’ll ever know
And that is but a fact.
In every class you make the weather
The tone is yours to set;
How every child will be treated
And her many needs met.
The classroom is but one space
Where you have a chance to lead;
With your peers is another chance
To guide in word and deed.
How you act in the break room
At meetings and at drills;
Shows your responsibility and care
Not a battle of petty wills.
Parents are one more group
Who benefit from your style;
Show them how to help their kids
They’ll thank you all the while.
You’re a leader, dear teacher
Whether you chose to be or not;
Fortunate are all who learn from you
And bountiful is your lot.
Each of you lead, in your own way. Own it, show it, and be great!
The Dream Team Will Fight!
Sincerely,
Andrea
