Tuesday we begin a journey that we'll walk together over the next 10 months. I love this time of year because it truly is a time to start over. To be a better version of ourselves and bring all that we have to our students. Nothing happens by accident and the students on your roster are exactly in the right place, at the right time...assigned to the right educator.
I am already proud of the attention and conversations we have had over the past two weeks. You have come to work and you're dedicated to "getting over yourself" and focusing on the teaching and learning of our students.
Please take a few minutes to listen to one of my heroes, Rita Pierson, as she talks about teaching and the relationship building that must take place. I share this on a yearly basis but my new folks...please take a listen. She passed away 5 years ago but her words are still tried and true.
I hope you've had an amazing weekend and see all of you Tuesday (if not tomorrow)! - Angela
