"Keep moving forward..."

Good morning!

I hope that you have had a great start to your weekend and that your Sunday is going even better! Reminder that we will not have any school for our students because our awesome staff is going to York for a PD conference that will allow them the opportunity to bring back some great knowledge for their classrooms and their students.

As we remember the great Martin Luther King Jr. throughout this month, I want to share my favorite quote from his many that he has. I love the philosophy here where it doesn't matter whether you can move at the same pace or way that your neighbor is moving, it is more important to know that you are moving FORWARD!

In our profession, we are constantly looking to improve our craft and wanting to give our best to our students and to ourselves. We are also looking out for our neighbors and helping them through their battles that they may be going through knowing that it isn't about out-doing each other but making sure no one is being left behind and that we are moving forward together. The journey is reaching the destination but knowing that the paths may be different and that is perfectly fine.

In life, it is the same. It doesn't matter if you go to college, a trade school or to the workforce. Throughout school, it isn't about having all A's or scoring a 36 on the ACT. It also doesn't matter being able to read 3 paragraphs when you enter Kindergarten or reading 700 pages in one setting as a 5th grader. These are all great goals but we all move at different paces but the main constant is that we continue to move forward toward our goals knowing the end destination of what YOU want to be.

As parents and as patrons, there is no blueprint on how to do our job as parents or how to raise our kids through out community. But the fact remains that if we are pushing our kids to be their best then you can guarantee that they are moving forward to a better tomorrow. Keep that in mind because we all feel run down at times but know that each day you are improving and you are making the world a better place for all involved.

Quote of the week to reflect on:

"If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward."

Martin Luther King Jr.

Sincerely,

Tucker Tejkl
