Be the Spark!
The school year started with the motto "Be the Spark!". It was at the end of every nuts and bolts (did you notice) and hopefully was in your thoughts as you prepared for a lesson or an activity or a conversation, whether in your classroom or outside of your classroom. Maybe it was in the back of your mind, and maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part. But I can tell you that I noticed the spark you provided to our kids and our colleagues. It was the twinkle in their eye as they talked to me about what they were doing in class, what they were learning, who they wanted to become. I heard it in the conversations I had with students and their parents after graduation last night. I started our final school year nuts and bolts with "Thank you" and that's how I'll end- Thank you!
