Every Kid is Someone’s Kid

Summer is ending, and August can be stressful for parents, teachers, and administrators alike. Teachers: as we gear up for another school year and spend countless hours preparing our classrooms, studying curriculum, and creating lesson plans, I find myself coming back to this true focus over and over. 


Every kid deserves a fresh start and a blank slate. Every kid should receive an extra dose of grace and patience without hesitation and without fail during this transition into a new grade level with a new teacher. Believe in every single child just a little more.


I am so grateful for the parents who will hand over their most prized possession to me day after day this school year. They will trust me to love their child just like they do, and teach them all they need to know this year. They deserve open, honest, and frequent communication about their extraordinary child. 


Every kid is someone’s kid. 


What an awesome and humbling responsibility. Thank you.
