- Protect -
As we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today, it allows me to reflect upon what is most important in my life. It is certainly not material items, social status nor places that I have been able to go and experience. What means the most to me is the freedoms I enjoy and the relationships that I have built within the Warrior Nation. Being able to use knowledge to help my students and staff, interact with people who are like me and not like me, and having the ability to move about my daily life knowing that my efforts to expand my circle of influence is not in done vain. So for me, my goal each day is to PROTECT all of the freedoms, privileges and rights that have been granted to me by so many before me. I choose to honor those who have fought battles that I only really understand by reading about from third party information. This is what I will PROTECT. I will continue to PROTECT the rights that have been put in place for children of all races to come to school and get the education, experiences, and love they deserve. And I will PROTECT each and every student that I have the opportunity to do so. Team, I challenge you to figure out what or who is most important to you and PROTECT it with all of your power. Be the shield of protection that this world needs and stand tall in the midst of chaos - you may be the next great figure that we all look to for grace and guidance. Have a wonderful week Warriors and PROTECT all that is important to you!
Much Love,
Mr. Russell - Cohort Dean
Front Desk Facts...
From Mrs. Boyd - your Cohort Secretary!!!
IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT WORK PERMITS - Remember, if you are in need of a work permit you must begin in the Walker Career Center office or from me on side B. You will receive a yellow card and a white "Intent to Employ" form. Be sure to fill out each form completely and return both to the cohort office to be reviewed by Mr. Russell. The Intent to Employ form must be signed by the employer, student and a parent or legal guardian. In order for Mr. Russell to strongly consider you to work in the community, you must be in good academic and behavioral standing with the school. After Mr. Russell approves and signs your work permit forms, you will then turn them in to the WCC office before or after school to receive your completed work permit. Finally, you are eligible to work and earn a paycheck! Make sure you are PROTECTING you privilege to work by being all that you need to be in the community and in the classroom! Looking forward to seeing you!!!!
Sending all my Love to the class of 2022,
Mrs. Boyd
