Mrs. Wilkes begins November 1 of each year by posting to the social network one blessing for each day of the month. This reminds me that every moment of every day, we should be thankful, for we have truly been blessed far more than we deserve.
In keeping with notion of counting our blessings, and as I reflect on OUR organization, the following is a list, not necessarily in an hierarchal order, of what I am most thankful for 1st semester 2012-2013.
- Student Safety- Though we are not perfect, we do have a safe learning and working environment.
- Gift of Gratitude- Many unfortunate happenings have occurred in our communities and each time our schools have answered the emotional and economical calling. Whether we are dressing in pink or collecting funds for a funeral, we are there for one another.
- Sense of Community- Our outreach, via Veterans Day Programs, Retired Teachers' Day Luncheon, Grandparents' Day Luncheon, Parents' Day Luncheon, Homecoming Celebrations and Fall Festivals, allows for complete stakeholder involvement.
- Student Recognition- The Superintendent's Corner demonstrates just a small portion of our overall student success. The emphasis that our schools place on student achievement prior to extracurricular events, during student assemblies, and by way of morning announcements is unsurpassed.
- Godly Men and Women To Serve Our Students.
During this time of which we place emphasis on a thankful heart, remember not only to be thankful for your family, friends and faith, remember your schools, too.
