HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Welcome to a new school year! Just the thought of returning to the fabulous students at Avalon School triggers inspiration and anxious anticipation to start our work together. I hope the summer break brought time for reflection and personal growth. Vacation is a critical time to reset and refocus our lives. A necessity, considering our daily pressures and constraints as educators. Therefore, the excitement that brings a new year is always in conflict with the selfish and primal instinct to participate in California's, "Endless Summer."
Soooooooo, to ease your transition. I share a short video highlighting the life work of Dewitt Jones, National Geographic Photographer, ENJOY!
