This was music to my ears! I have always believed that people come first. Make sure you take care of their hearts and their minds will follow. Yet I also know that learning is the reason every school exists. Academics are paramount. By no means was I perfect in my efforts. Most assuredly, I made many mistakes along the way. It is still one of my burning questions, "How do we ensure that the little people we get for seven hours each day leave as caring human beings with as much smarts as we can get in their brains?"
School is not only meant for filling brains and creating a growth mindset, it is also meant to create little humans who genuinely care for the people and the world around them. I loved hearing that we did both! I still say all the credit goes to the fantastic teachers and staff that made it happen, but it was nice to be included in the best compliment an educator can hear!
