Thanks for a Great In-Service!


Thanks to our elementary teachers for a great in-service this morning! It was fun, and it was significant. Providing students with a well-rounded education is no small task, particularly when we can never be quite sure what tomorrow's world is going to demand from our young people.

If we can arm them with a firm command of basic knowledge, they may do OK. If we can augment all of that with the ability to think critically, to look at what everyone else has looked at yet see what nobody else has seen, to get up in front of other and be animated and interesting, and to not takes themselves or anybody else too seriously, then I have a feeling we are sending them into the world prepared to succeed.
