I know you have already been heavily involved in the ramp-up to the new school year. While the first day for students is not until tomorrow, I know that classroom readiness, lesson materials, communication with families, in-services, required updates such as blood borne pathogens and the like have all consumed much of your time for a couple of weeks. In addition to teachers, this includes all staff members – custodians, coaches, administrators, office staff, aides, tutors, buildings and grounds staff, and the host of other individuals who collaborate as a team to present outstanding educational opportunities for our Rising Red Hawks. I and many, many other Milton citizens are so grateful for your dedication and efforts.
There are some who would say that this is “just” your job so “get on with it”. I agree that it is your job but I also believe, that it is truly your calling and I have seen and repeatedly experienced the dedication, the love, the passion, your very essence that you pour into “our” kids. Most of us cannot begin to fathom the time, the energy, the knowledge, and the true constant caring that your career demands and which you consistently deliver. I and many, many others applaud and thank you.
On reflection, during the school year, “our kids” likely spend more waking time with you than they do with we parents and family members. You are such a positive influence for good. Please do not ever undersell or denigrate yourselves.
As stated by Mitch Albom in his great book, The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto, “A teacher’s shadow can hover for life”.
School District of Milton Staffers – THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CASTING THOSE POSITIVE SHADOWS RATHER THAN LIVING IN SHADOWS. YOU ARE AWESOME AND WE SO APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU DO. HAVE A GREAT YEAR PRESENTING THOSE OPPORTUNITIES THAT LEAD TO ACHIEVEMENT THAT, IN TURN, LEAD TO COMMUNITY.
After
all – Kids Matter!
