What's Next?
I am looking forward to how our Exhibition Night comes together and appreciate the efforts for all who have created excitement around our kids’ projects and what they have learned. I am also looking forward to all the work that is going on around our building these next few weeks that focus on our kids’ passions and interests. Taking advantage of the time that we have left is a gift. I am really looking forward to these final weeks!
Quick Reflection:
Looking back on this year, it will be determined that we had success, that this year was successful. Every year that we can make the work that we do less about the adults and more about the kids and their needs we will be able to claim success! I will be the first to admit that finding joy in the work that we do is important. The work that we do is taxing and not having clear focus can result in what we do becoming simply a job and our kids need more. Purpose and passion typically go hand in hand and I am so very glad that our staff has found a common purpose and truly have decided to make this year about our kids. I thank you all!
