Tug of War verse Marathon

Tug of War is a game of teamwork. Marathon is a large group each individually attempting to reach the same goal.  Over the last few weeks, I have had to opportunity to sincerely brag about your teamwork.  Conversations at school meetings, personal conversations out in public, visits with parents who have asked how things are going.  

We, as a group, who are choosing to invest in the lives of children, are pulling together.  Not one aspect of this large system is being overlooked as we care for the children in our community.  Maintenance, tech support, transportation, food service, secretaries, paras, custodial, nurses, AEA support, teachers, administrators, parents, and students.  Not one single entity is left unaffected and in need of team support. 

Thank you for pulling together.  Today is 9/11.  As a nation, we came together.  Today, on 9/11, we are pulling together in a whole new way.  Thank you, for whatever role you have, in supporting not only the educational needs of the children but each other.
