The excitement and unconditional approval that these young children provide is refreshing and helpful in my attempts to remain focused on the true reason I chose this field. The activity on this day - graphing favorite popcorn flavors, followed of course by eating the popcorn! As their education progresses, it will soon be chapter books and multiplication facts followed by research projects and term papers. And I intend to enjoy the ride along with these fantastic youngsters.
Sometimes school administrators need reminders of why we do what we do. This week I was invited by Preschool Teacher Kim Emmert to spend some quality time with her GSRP class. Thank you Kim for providing me with this opportunity to connect with our youngest students. As an Elementary Principal, spending time with students was a daily occurrence which honestly I may have taken a bit for granted. As Superintendent, these moments are less frequent but cherished nonetheless.
