It's A Great Day To Be A Raider

As we walked the hallways last Friday, I was reminded of all the great things my colleagues are doing for our kids across our campus.

We are a Title I campus with about 1000 kids, or students, or family.  It helps to think of our kids as family.  We have to love on them, be tough on them, guide them, and most of all, remember they are simply kids at heart.

It is a pleasure to work with my students.  Sure, there are days I wouldn't mind forgetting, but usually I can't wait to get home to get ready for the next day.  My students and colleagues keep me coming back.  They are kind and compassionate, challenging and diligent, inquisitive and studious.  It's a broad mix and our team is focused on bringing all our learners together.

Today, we watched a little video from CBS Sunday Morning about Mount Rushmore.  It wasn't earth shattering History, but I like to point out that there is something in History for everyone.  Maybe it won't be Mount Rushmore this day, but tomorrow will always bring some type of learning opportunity.

What does that famed monument have to do with Texas History.  Nothing, and everything.  It shows the spirit of our country and how immigrants from around the world came to create something special.  As we will see, Texans will take part in creating special pieces of American History.

We are just getting started.  America and Texas await.

Peace
