The Challenger Dispatch
May 5-9, 2014 Week 2
Appreciation is not a strong enough word
Teacher Appreciation Week is a little like Black History Month - neither should be relegated to such a short amount of time. Every day should be Teacher Appreciation day! The work you do is a passion, a service, definitely undervalued by the general public, and the most important work an individual could ever do. Thank you for being a teacher! Thank you for doing this important life work at Challenger!!!!
ACT Aspire Tests
ACT testing for 3-5th grade will take place this week. Please follow all procedures correctly. Those of you traveling in the halls ( especially near the gym) need to be SILENT as you come and go to P.E.
The task of the excellent teacher is to stimulate "apparently ordinary" people to unusual effort. The tough problem is not in identifying winners: it is in making winners out of ordinary people. ~K. Patricia Cross
