Greetings, colleagues! I hope
you enjoyed your summer!
Across the state, school has
begun and our students have returned to us with much excitement and
anticipation. We share in their excitement about returning to school as we
prepare to provide each of them with high-quality instruction.
Despite the many challenges we
are facing in public education, particularly in North Carolina, it is critical
as school leaders we continue to keep the best interests of our students at the
forefront of our decision-making. Remaining in constant contact with our
legislators about how their decision-making impacts schools is necessary more
now than ever.
I would like to challenge you to
do four things to make this a successful year:
1. Tell
everyone you meet how proud you are to be an educator in North Carolina public
schools.
2. Showcase
the wonderful things you are doing in your schools to educate children.
3. Treat
your teachers extra special and keep them motivated by reminding them that
their work is valued and they are appreciated.
4. Lastly,
remember that despite the odds that seem stacked against us, you are making a
difference!
The days ahead of us are full
and bright! Have a great 2015-16 school year!
This is great, Steve! I accept your challenge and will strive to accomplish them all. You are awesome. :)
