RMS Weekly Event Calendar
April 23 - April 27
What's going on at RMS?
Unfortunately, last week, the United States lost a former first lady. Barbara Bush was such a positive role model for our country and believed in the power of education. Mrs. Bush also believed in children and the family and understood the importance of both of them to the future of our nation.
When I saw the quote above by Mrs. Bush, it caused me to reflect on how we view success. As educators, it is so easy to determine success by test scores, grades, attendance, awards, etc. Although we all know and recognize that those things are important, we spend so much time focusing on the outcome, that we often fail to reflect on what true success really means.
Barbara Bush believed the true measure of success was in relationships and how we treat other people. Although her quote above includes family, friends, coworkers, and even strangers, I believe she would also include children/students in her list as well. At the end of the day, when all is said and done, will we be successful if we only taught a student how to do math, but didn't show them how to be respectful? Will a student achieve success if they can read, but aren't kind or compassionate? Students learn so much from watching and listening to others. How we as educators treat others each day sets the tone and provides the positive role model that our students need to overall success.
I encourage all of you to be the catalyst for student success. Let our students see you model these behaviors each day and challenge them to demonstrate behaviors towards each other that make them successful. Continue to promote positive interactions and provide opportunities for students to be kind, compassionate, and considerate. In other words, demonstrate to them what it looks like to truly be a successful individual!
Have a great and "successful" week at RMS!
