What have you learned in this current season of your work that will fuel your hope for the future?
As a first-year administrator during these unparallel times, I have quickly discovered just how resilient our educators are. Every single person that I have had the pleasure of working with has shown so much poise and positivity through this realm of virtual learning. Knowing that our students are in the hands of such innovative and creative people, brings so much hope for the future, and I am beyond blessed to be alongside them as we move forward together.
