Message from our Superintendent Dr. Thomasina Jones |
There is one thing that we all have in common. Every one of us has been taught by a teacher and we could share a story about the positive impact that was made on us by a teacher. As parents, we are our child’s first teacher. “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops…” With these words, Henry Adams honored all educators. Indeed, the thought that what we do in the classroom – and at home - may have implications weeks, months and many years later in the lives of our students is very sobering, and it places a real and very heavy responsibility on the shoulders of the teacher. Teachers, like parents, constantly work toward inspiring their students/children and exerting an influence that will, as Henry Adams stated, “affect eternity.”
But how do you inspire? How do you encourage children to do their best and achieve when they lack motivation? We must believe! We must have the confidence in ourselves to believe that we are in the position to educate and influence our students. We never know where our influence stops, that is why it is so vital that you believe in every single one of the students who you come in contact with this year. Whatever you do, don’t throw away the keys, because you hold the keys to unlock the future of our children’s success. |
