We need to rethink how we educate students. More importantly we need to find more money to support and resource our Principals & staff so they continue to meet the ever changing diverse needs of students in their classes and schools! Our staff are the unsung heroes in education!
I hope that you noticed all the little miracles that were shared in the last week! Here’s to many more.

My friend Winnie never gets it wrong! Great life lessons and the only additional one I would add is to be grateful!
