Words from the Prez, January 2015

Post date: Jan 14, 2015 7:30:45 PM

What a New Year! There have been a plethora of bowl games, and people making resolutions that could improve their lives. I saw a commercial on TV over the break that was sponsored by a cereal that is supposed to help lose weight. In the commercial people were in Times Square and they were ask to stand on a scale. This ended up not being a normal scale but a

scale that showed what you had to “gain” by keeping their resolution of losing weight. When the participants stepped on the scale, instead of seeing their weight, they were given a word, such as confidence, joy, fortitude, etc. That gave them encouragement to pursue their resolution. 

When I step on the scale, I would like to see the word PRIDE displayed. Pride in my student’s work, pride in my work, pride in our education association and pride in the life that I lead. If you stepped on the scale what word would you want to see displayed?

On another note, a new state representative, Travis Dunlap, was elected this past November. He has agreed to come visit my classroom on Thursday, January 22 to get a better picture of

education and the struggles that teachers face. If you have any questions or concerns that you would like for me to present to him, please email me at teachersrgr8@aol.com. Hopefully he will help us make a difference in education. 

I hope that you have a wonderful New Year and see wonderful results to any resolutions that you have made.
