Hello Partnership Educators,
Walking the halls of our schools always excites me as I listen to the kids and adults talking about their current passions stirring in them from that day's activities. Sitting with first graders and playing an addition game with dice is a hoot. They are so amazed at the frequency of certain numbers appearing as they chart their results. Standing and having a discussion with kids about what honesty means and having them value it as one of their shared traits on the social contract gives all adults hope about our future leaders. Thanks for engaging our kids each and every day.
This Wednesday signaled the last of the Back to School Nights around the partnership. I have the opportunity and privilege and walking around and shaking hands with parents, students, staff and talking with people. Without an exception, what I am hearing is that the parents and students are passionate about all of you. Conversation after conversation is about how thankful and happy they are to have their child within our schools.
More stories lined up next week but I wanted to say thanks for what you are doing. You are all amazing. I would also like to say thank you for all of the local stories coming in about our kids, staff, and families. It says a lot about the caring hearts that we have in our district family. Stories are being rewritten each and every day.
