ACADEMIC STRAND UPDATE: As We "Lift Off!" Toward Summer Break...

We have reached the end of another school year.  It is a busy, taxing, yet joyful time.  It is a time of transition.  As we sweat and cry and prepare our goodbyes, remember that we are privileged to be in a position to change not only the world, but the universe.  And with that privilege comes tremendous responsibility.  So here’s to a summer of relaxation and reflection! -- a time to recharge for the upcoming school year.
​

There are so many incredible and inspirational quotes from Donovan Livingston’s commencement speech to his fellow graduates of the Harvard Graduate School of Education.  It is a beautiful piece that I have watched and listened to at least 20 times over the past few days.  Each time, a new line takes my breath away.  But in this moment, thinking of you all and the work that you do on a daily basis, this stanza stands out:

To educate requires Galileo-like patience.
Today, when I look my students in the eyes,
all I see are constellations.
If you take the time to connect the dots,
You can plot the true shape of their genius --

Shining in their darkest hour.

Thank you all for the work you have done this year to “connect the dots.”  Have a wonderful, rejuvenating summer!
