2017-2018 is almost a wrap...

We have made it! The 2017-2018 school year is a wrap and if you are still getting these weekly blogs in your email that means you honored the commitment you took way back in August and stuck through the HARD, UGLY, STRESSFUL and DIFFICULT to give our students our best.  They truly deserve it even if students (or their families) do not believe they do.

I am going to make this short...although I know Mr. Thomas does not believe I can do that!

So here goes (this is my version of free style rap- watch out Jay-Z)...


Dear TCEA Staff:

Another year has come and gone.

We made some memories and had some fun.

But what we accomplished was more than laughter and smiles.

We encouraged students and peers and pushed them to go more miles.

More miles of learning and innovation and imagination and trials;

We modeled for them that their worth is more than what the reports say in their files.

Although our reasons for being at TCEA might vary

There are a few things we all carry

We carry the heaviness of filling in all the gaps that students have (whether emotional, physical, educational, etc.)

We are their education salve.

I know that I have high expectations for each one of you

and that at times this makes you want to establish a coup.

But know that I truly believe in each staff member at our school

and I know that each of you have the needed tools

to better our community, our nation and the world

and end the chaos and the whirl.

We can do this one student at a time

by preparing them to walk out their destiny in their prime.


So THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Thank you for your sacrifice, support, time, and energy!!! I promise all of this DOES pay off!

Hope you are enjoying your weekend and see everyone Monday!                  Angela
