"Before you go out into the world, wash your face in the clear crystal of praise. Bury each yesterday in the fine linen and spices of thankfulness."
-Charles Spurgeon
To every educator in the world:
As we approach the holiday, I want to take out the time to say THANK YOU! We have extremely tough jobs, right? Think about it! You have a classroom of various learners, you are attempting to differentiate their instruction, and ensure all of your students are learning at high levels....everyday.
That is a tall order; however, because you are motivated educators, with a heart for children, you have said to me, “Ok, how can we do this?” Thank you! Thank you for supporting our students and maintaining high expectations. Our students are better off because of you!
Thank you for embracing change. As I have said once before, change is messy, uncomfortable, but it is amazing! Trust me, we will move forward, and you are the heartbeat of this movement.
Somedays are beautiful and free- flowing. We live for those moments. On the other hand, there are days where it appears nothing is going right. Thank you for hanging in there and smiling. Your optimism and sense of humor supports me daily.
Finally, thank you for being you! Our students need you; our community needs you; and I need you!
Enjoy this time with your family and friends. It is well deserved!
-Rodney S. Lewis, Ed.D.
