Friday Flush


It was a long week for sure, but it was really, really good….I saw some amazing teaching for sure.  I also saw some people that were choosing to take a positive road instead of that negative one. That is a huge thing on campus when we continue treating others with grace and respect.  I appreciate everyone taking a step back to realize that this time of year, we all need a little extra “cushion.”

We are a successful organization….we aren’t successful because of any one person, our parents, our students, or because of luck.  We are successful because of the image above.  We do … we do again…and again….  Persistence is what “wins.”   Teaching and education are tough fields, and we all have days that we want to stop or we need summer now…..but we gear up for another day, and our persistence makes a difference.

This weekend, try to reflect on something in your life you consider to be a “success.”  Did it just fall in your lap?  Was it “easy?”  Most likely, it was something you held in high regard and you stopped at nothing until it was achieved. 

I hope that same is true for every kid in your class….some things that work for other students may not work for “that one”….so we do and do again and again and keep on doing….  

Thank you for your passion to teach…thank you for persistence in teaching….and thank you for your respect for those that are here with you!


Happy Friday!
