Kids Deserve It! Chapters Eight and Nine
"Kids need someone who's looking for those magic moments, full of high fives coming down the line with energy radiating all around. They want and NEED us to come to school every day, ready to surround them with love, encouragement, and hope" (70.) We are challenged to see every interaction, every kid, as an opportunity, to be the one caring adult in their lives. As noted in the clip, "Every child who winds up doing well has had at least one stable and committed relationship with a supportive adult." 936 marbles from birth to 18. We simply do not have time to doubt ourselves in our quest for connecting with our students, with our High Fives. We know You Matter. We know we can ignite the spark of hope. We know the difference between a statistic and a success story is YOU. Are you ready to be the change? We only have so much time. I Trust You. I Trust Your Abilities. I Trust that You Will Do What's Best For Kids. Our Kids Deserve It!
