November is a time of decision and transition! This month, we will elect new leaders or continue with incumbents — in hopes that they will represent our interests, ideals and needs. Moreover, we will begin a time characterized by thanksgiving and giving.
As this season begins, it is important to note the hallmarks and/or considerations of this unique time. And as our election cycle begins and Election Day approaches, you have an opportunity to revisit your priorities for education. As you do so, I ask you to consider a few questions:
I also ask you to consider the importance of thanksgiving and giving during this special time. While unrest and uncertainty abounds nationally, we can collectively thwart apathy, disillusionment, and fear by identifying silver linings in these seemingly cloudy times.
As a community, there are things for which we can choose to be thankful. Moreover, we have an opportunity — some might argue, a duty — to find hope, so we might imbue youth with hope. More importantly, our ability to find, maintain, and foster hope in others in these uncertain times is a gift that we can give freely that will keep on giving!
In this month of decision and transition, consider the possibilities, priorities and your opportunities to partner in leading our education system and community to a place of hope and promise!
