End of the Year Reflections

As I am finishing up my third year as principal, I have a lot to be thankful for. We have a lot of great group of teachers, support staff, students, and parents. Together, they make my job easier. Running a middle school is the hardest job by far. 

These years are extremely difficult. It is a time when students are trying to discover the person they are and are meant to be.

I loved this comparison that I am about to share with you. 

The middle school years are a time when the bud of the flower first begins to open, and we see the shape of the petals and the colors within. 

How cool is this? This is something that we are apart of. 

I want to help students blossom. I want to find ways for them to develop into the men and woman they are destined to be. Greatness is in all of my students. It is up to us as educators to unleash that potential. 

I will not give up on these children. 

I will work each and every day not for myself, but for each student that I have the pleasure of educating. 

Thank you for this opportunity.
