Reflections from Elder's Desk
Though it is October, and we all yearn for some rest.
We must keep our focus on the why we teach and not be stressed.
The minds we mold, and the hearts we touch.
We make a difference, oh so much.
Student engagement, high expectations, and accountability are a must.
Remember the why you teach and adjust.
We were chosen to be a light and to educate every kid.
Regardless of who walks in our doors, we cannot get rid.
When you are at your wits end and want to quit.
Fulfill your calling and have some grit.
Teaching is a mission, and it is no easy feat.
So, bloom where you are planted and overcome that spirit of defeat.
You make a difference at AMCHS!
