Where innovation and learning collide!
Welcome Back Message!
As I embark on my 18th year in teaching and learning, I realize that I would not have gotten this far without rockstar mentors, colleagues, family and friends. They have helped me keep my perspective on a work/life balance, aided me in keeping my life organized, and most importantly always offered a listening ear and guiding hand. And, unfortunately, I don't think I told them how much that meant to me...or not nearly as much as I should have. This past May, I asked you to nominate someone who inspires you. I decided to take these inspirational writings and send them to those nominees today. I sent out 50 emails. Many of the comments brought tears to my eyes. Whether you received one or not, you can all be an inspiration to those around you. Be the POSITIVE VOICE colleagues hear, be the HELPING HAND to a person that is struggling, and most of all, bring the BEST YOU to school each day and build up your relationships. You won't be disappointed if you do. I am including a link to an article about this very topic from AJ Juliani.
Lastly, our most inspiring colleague award goes to ASHLI STETTER, a 3rd-grade teacher at HC Burgard. She had the most nominations and has obviously touched and inspired her colleagues at HCB! Her gift is on its way.
