A Year for the History Books
With so many factors to consider for this upcoming school year, it is no wonder that we feel a little apprehensive and maybe even a bit overwhelmed at times. When feeling this way, however, stop and think of the words from author Vivian Greene, "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning how to dance in the rain."
With those words in mind, My Friends...IT'S TIME TO DANCE! ...Let's make the words in future history books dance on the page because of our collective growth mindset, our innovative solutions for meeting new demands, and for our determination to ban together and tackle new challenges as a team. We can't change the path of the storm, but how we face the storm and how we lead our students through it, is what will make the difference this year. So, take a deep breath and LET'S DANCE!
